Jofrog is Knitfrog!
December 29 2005
I've finally gotten almost everything together to show you all of the gifted items from the needles of yours truely. No need for an intro, lets get right to it. You've already seen my sister's hat and scarf set, made out of Blizzard. She loved them, and no one could believe how soft they were! Success! I made three little baby/kid sweaters this season. Two were matching for brothers. The baby was born just one week ago and the older brother is two. Won't they look handsome? I made and gifted three hats, (Royal Tweed Hat, Shedir, and Jen's Double Knit Hat), before it was even December, but they still count. (You can click on the left sidebar pics to refresh your memory if you'd like.) Two pairs of socks were on the list this year, and despite the fact that one pair had to be done in complete secrecy, even in my own home... they were finished in the nick of time! The second pair, the watermellon socks, were absolutely loved. Slipped on right away and not taken off again that night. I've never seen a nine year old so excited about a pair of socks! I'd planned on crocheting lots of little baskets to put cookies in, but ended up with just one for the neighbor's dogs, complete with home made doggie biscuits of course! Lastly, I made three fresh water pearl necklaces for three important women in my life. All three were so well recieved and I loved making something so different for a change. Of course there is my holiday top. Barely anyone realized that it was knit because of the small gauge! I had almost no recognition for it, and it was both good and bad. Nice to not be flashing "HOMEMADE TOP", but also I'd have loved if someone had asked without me mentioning it first! You guys will have to wait one more day to see it... still no good pictures, but I will leave you with one of me and Mike at his department holiday party in a revolving resturaunt overlooking Boston. Holiday Bonanza
These were made from Cashsoft DK for my husband who specifically asked for cashmere socks. He was even more excited than the nine year old to get his socks!
I am wearing the top, can you see it?
See the Citco sign? Prudential Building? It was a beautiful view!
