Nuclear Knits: Where knitting is the bomb!

Project Details: Simple Beanie Hat.   Started on January 24 and finished January 26.  Fast knit with hand dyed yarn.  Size 5 and 6 needles.  This is a bit on the tight side - I measured her head to be 17.5" and that is what I knit - but tight nonetheless.  Next time a bit bigger.

I'm currently working on this sweater with yummy Rowan yarn.  How about you??

I've never made a dog sweater before - and this was pretty fun.  A friend requested it for her aging dog. Project Details: Wurstwarmer Dog Sweater .  Started on December 14th and finished on January 7th.  Not a super long knit.  I didn't like the wrapped stitch pickups that you can see around the chest of the sweater.  If I ever make this again I will use a different technique.  It took 2 whole skeins of Knit Picks Galilelo (262 yards) on size 6 needles. I liked how this pattern had a section that you measured your dog for.  I hope it fits my friends dog.  I'll post photos if I get any!

On the other blog I was going through and putting a review of the year in order.  This is the same as you will see there - but I'm pretty darn proud of it!
