Merry Christmas!

I've been trying really hard to finish off some WIP and at least knit on some WIP before the new year.  Here are some FO and yarn that I got for Christmas.

Gifts, Test Knit and Finishing Up FO

Needles:  Size 5 dpn

Yarn:  Lily Sugar'n Cream Solids & Denim in Red

Pattern:  http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/kitchen-dishcloth--lattice-stitch-pattern

Needles:  Size 5 dpns

Yarn:   Lily Sugar'n Cream Solids in 1742 Hot blue

Pattern:  http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/kitchen-dishcloth--double-seed-stitch-pattern

These are quick teacher gifts paired with a bottle of soap and some hand made cookies.  Between being sick and having sick ones, I ran out of time to put more time into a gift.  I wanted to weave some hand clothes.  Maybe next year.

I managed to finish this test knit hat over the weekend.  My oldest has been into hats so she liked this one.  It was a pretty quick knit for me.  Details:

Needles:  Size 6 and 8 circular needles

Yarn:  Caron Simply Soft in white and charcoal heather

Pattern:  test knit pattern coming soon


Now I'm trying to finish up some WIP that have been on the needles way too long.  Wish me luck!

Pink!

This is on the wheel right now.  My daughters request for pink fiber.  I got it with my gift certificate from The Fiber Factory.  It's 4oz of Romney.

It's going to be a rough spin though.  This is the VM (vegetative matter) after I pulled a small strip out of 2 oz to spin.  There is a LOT of VM that I'm not use to in my spinning fiber.
