Legendary scarf
I finally finished a yarn project. Since spraining my left ankle badly six years ago, I haven’t had a lot of luck knitting or crocheting. Finished this scarf tonight while watching the pilot episode of Legends of Tomorrow.

Angry eyebrows hat
Jay’s knitted blue hat from last year is too small. So we picked some acrylic yarn we got at a garage sale (so she can wash it) and picked a pattern from Ravelry. She likes the slouchy hats, so we ended up with Katja Zulu (ravelry link), which she promptly named the “Angry Eyebrows…

Hallowig, originally uploaded by Shel Kennon. Actually making good progress on this so far, compared to the rest of the year’s knitting. I’m not managing more than a few rows a day though, because I’ve been working on my Diablo II!

I started this shawl back at the Loopy Spring Fling and have been working on it ever since. No matter what other project I start, nothing gets completed (other than the fun fur shawl I…

Blue Unoriginal Hat
I enjoyed knitting my Unoriginal Hat by the Yarn Harlot so much that I had to knit another one! I bought some Tweedle Dee yarn at Michaels on Black Friday for $1.99 to make more. I knitted it in one sitting, in about 3.5 hours! :)

Unoriginal hat finished!
I finished this hat the day after starting it. I LOVE it! I’ve worn it on most of my Xmas shopping trips. I was a little worried since wool is typically itchy for me, but this was wonderful! Thinking of making more as gifts.

Works in progress….
After several attempts at the Dwarven Battle Bonnet for Jesse (which he is now refusing to wear!), I had a spate of startities, followed by frog- and ripitis. It’s gotten to the point where I don’t bother putting a project into Ravelry until I’ve got it done! Over the weekend, I finished up some new…

Jesse’s Battle Bonnet
The battle bonnet is now done! It “only” took four tries, including the ill-fated Dwarven Battle Yamulka, which Jay stole for her stuffed animals. So, one down and two more to go. Jesse also wants the Blond version and Ben wants one as well. Next up will be some more subtle wrist warmers to wear…
