I think it is time to show proof of knitting here:

Recently I finished Quincy, the lovely hat from Jared Flood Made in Brooklyn booklet:

Oh I love this swirling crown and the I-cord too!

This one was a complete process knitting, the minute I saw this hat I wanted to knit it, just to understand how it is constructed and I really enjoyed it, but we have a problem finding a head that will fit this hat,,, hehehe

I also knitted some simple socks for Mary my MIL for her birthday:

I like the way the pick up from garter stitch looks.

I used Isobel a handpainted fingering sock yarn by: Mocha’s Fiber Connection I bought in the New Hampshire Sheep and Wool festival last May. I really like how the pick up from the garter stitch looks, so nice and smooth.

And the latest project off my needles: a simple stockinette triangle shawl I decided I have to knit for Mary’s birthday less than a week before the day:

I love the simplicity of this shawl

It was ready only 2 days too late and I could have done better if I didn’t screw up the m1’s in my first attempt or even if I noticed it before I reached 50 something stitches on each side of the center line,,, oh well, both the recipient and the knitter are happy with the result and this is the important part, right?

I used Araucania Panguipulli a lovely aran yarn I spotted at the booth of The Purple Purl in the very disappointing Creativ Festival in Toronto, October 16, 2009.

And I am still looking for the cardigan I must knit myself,,,, in the meantime I am reaching the end of the body of a simple v neck for myself (photos to come) but the cardigan elude me, ackh! and to think I once knitted almost only sweaters,,,,

And to make you smile I will show you how I look with that hat:

My Quincy? I don't think so,,,

I think my face says it all, but maybe the snow will change my opinion, who knows?
