Introducing Trafford

We interrupt this knitting blog because we've got dog news.

My sister got a dog. Meet Trafford.

Don't you think he needs a sweater?

Habitat

It's so not easy to photograph a black hat.
Well, there's probably some good tricks to it, but I'm not that good yet.

Pattern: Habitat by Jared Flood
Source: buy it through Ravelry for $4.75
Materials: Malabrigo Merino Worsted
Amount: less than 1 skein
Needles: US 7& 8 Addi Turbos
Started: November, 2008
Finished: December 20, 2008

I made this hat for my friend Rob. I sent him a bunch of patterns and he picked this one, but now I'm really wondering if it's too feminine. Hubby looks ridiculous in it. What do you think? Dude gift?

Just Enough Ruffles

I started this scarf on the plane going to my sister's wedding. I didn't get a chance to work on it until the plane ride home, then I finished it in a few hours at home. I'd say this is 6 hours of knitting or less. Need last minute gift? Got some malabrigo in your stash? This is for you.

I made this as a Christmas present for a co-worker. I'm having a hard time giving it away. She's more of a ruffle gurl than me though.

Snow Day

Kudos to the powers that be for actually telling us all to stay home yesterday. It was as bad as they thought it would be and staying home all cozy was the best gift on a Friday afternoon.

I made cookies and watched Love Actually.

Drive by Sweater Post

I've got no time to blog. I've been having fun. Too much fun to blog.

This is the best I can do.
A quick pic taken weeks ago before hopping on a plane to go to my sister's wedding.
