Nuclear Knits: Where knitting is the bomb!

Project Details: I'm trying to get a little non-baby knitting done. I figured I'd make a quick set of mitts. Using size 6 needles and one skein of Elsebeth Lavold Angora. I started on November 25 and finished today November 26. Super fast and really cute!

I didn't get much knitting done over Thanksgiving break. But I did get these little guys done. Project Details: Started on November 22 and finished on November 24. Super fast knit and free pattern on Ravelry. I used the same yarn as the little leg warmers. I might have to make some more.

Project Detail: Started on November 17 and finished today November 21. I used Online self striping yarn with size one needles. Socks are to come next! Small projects like these are just so darn fast!

Project Details: I used sock yarn to make this sock monkey. Started on November 12th and finished on November 20th. I re-worked the increases to be more like how you do toe up socks and I put buttons as the eyes. I hope little baby likes it!

Project Details: Started on November 5th and finished on November 12. The buttons were the last and we were just waiting for the news on boy/girl. The buttons Mike got me in Japan! I used Rowan Cotton Glacé and it took 2.5 skeins on size 4 needles. The pattern is free on Ravelry and is called Garter Yoke Sweater.

Well next on my list is this fun little guy. I pulled out fingering yarn and then saw the pattern was rewritten for DK. I was pretty worried, but after talking to one of the best knitters I know, she assured me that a little stuffed animal wouldn't notice the difference (and she was correct). So far I've finished two legs and a tail!

Last race of the year and I'm getting some good work done! Almost finished with this fun kids sweater!

The roving. Superwash Merino from a club I was in 2 years ago. Singles. Project Details: I'm still not in love with superwash but this one was okay (didn't get too puffy when I washed it). This was from Christina Marie Potter's fiber club (which I was in a few years ago). The colorway is Cotton Candy (and I think that is pretty fitting). I split the roving to try and get the longest possible stripes I could get (which I think worked well). 4oz which gave me 326 yards of Sport/DK (almost DK but just a little shy). I'm thinking about making mitts for my baby sister with it! Maybe I'll get another few yards done before the end of the year!

Project Details: This is for my Sole Sisters swap buddy. I started it on October 22 and finished it on November 4th. I used Mirasol Yarn Nuna (which is a blend of silk, wool and bamboo). My buddy wanted something fun and fashionable (so I hope this fits the bill). I blocked it on a dinner plate (which worked perfect). I only used 191 yards for this hat (which means I have a whole skein left - what to do with it now??). About to cast on some new and fun projects!
