Sunday evening I realized I had FOUR knitting projects in progress. This is so unlike me. I'm a one project at a time kind of girl. I start something, finish it, and move on to the next project. How I ended up having four at one time is beyond me.
I took a deep breath and started working on the one that was closest to being finished. Before I knew it, I was down to THREE, then TWO, then ONE!
I hardly ever knit anything for myself, so after the handmade holiday rush, I decided to start a pair of knucks. After I finished one knuck, I started on some baby socks. They had to be made for Miss Emma's teacher as she returns tomorrow after being on maternity leave. Then I got two hat orders thanks to Joshua's teacher.
I made a flower power hat in some very soft and squishy Charisma yarn (same kind of yarn I used for Joshua's afghan). Then I made a Chess Play hat using Fair Isle knitting, a technique that I had never used before. It was quite simple and I love the way this hat turned out. Knit in one of the local high school's colors, I think it will be the perfect mix of warmth and school spirit!
I'm now left with just one knuck to make. Knitting is my evening wind down so I love having a project to work on. Although I'm not advertising knitting orders, you can certainly email me if you want something made!

That's great that you usually finish a project before you move on to something else. That is my goal but I seem to get bored with what I'm doing before I finish.
Those are very cute socks and hats. I really like the fair isle knit!
I LOVE your knitting!! Those hats are very pretty.
I love the design on the chess hat! All beautifully knit =)
Love these! The flower power hat is the perfect shade of purple. :)
Every one of your projects has turned out fabulously, Jen!!! Love the booties and BOTH hats! Man, you have really cleared the board! I had four going and still have three! Knit on!! blessings ~ tanna
LOVE that blue hat pattern! I'm just starting to crochet, unfortunately I suck so far. :) teehee! But if I keep it up, hopefully I'll do awesome... this computer wont open your email link for me? So can you email me and we can chat about me buying a hat from you? :))) I can be one of those wind-down knitting projects. haha.
Wow... look at you go! One thing after another. :) They look fantastic! I love that deep purple color and the flower. So cute!
Great job! The yarn that Elizabeth picked out for her scarf is Charisma. It really is soft & squishy ~ I love it! :)
