I really don't want to keep starting
knit projects and never finishing,
like my quilt projects. This blue
shawl is my never finished, always
on going knit project.
It is not a difficult pattern. I
just keep putting it to the side
while I try something new. I
resolve to have it finished by
the end of the year!
I did have a couple of finishes
this past week. I am making
my husband an assortment of
hats he can wear at work.
He is a teacher, but also does the
cross guard duty at his school.
Cold and sometime snowy mornings
call for a hat.
The pattern is called Ruben Hat on Ravelry
I also finished a hat made of
sock yarn for my daughter.
I am going the next year without
purchasing yarn (or fabric), so
I found a great pattern on Ravelry
for slouchy hats knitted with
sock yarn. I have never made
socks, but had a lot of sock
yarn in my stash (big clearance sale)
What's On the Needle at your house?

great caps!!!! I think self striping yarn is so much more fun to knit than solids just can't with to see the next color.
Try socks two at a time toe up there are lots of you tube videos to help you. Thats how I learned. I always tell myself too no more fabric or yarn until I finish this................ It helps
have a great weekend
Your shawl looks so soft and warm. The pattern is so pretty. Yes... great hats! I, too, tell myself no new purchases until I finish some projects. It does help! And, I also taught myself to knit socks by watching youtube videos. I have not accomplished the two at a time way yet. I enjoy knitting one at a time, but someday!
Love the shawl! Care to share pattern info?
Your shawl pattern looks pretty. What's the pattern and needle size you are using. I also think your hats are wonderful. That is my next project for winter. I learned to knit socks and became addicted to them. It's hard not to want to start another pair when I finish one. I watch youtube, ask friends and bought a book that has been the lifeline to my learning sock knitting. It shows great pictures on every step of the way for a sock. "Teach Yourself Visually Sock Knitting" by Laura Chau. You can get a slightly used book on Amazon for $10 or less. It also covers top down, toe up, 1 at a time on double pointed needles and 1 circularm Magic Loop and 2 circular. Warning though, if you make a pair, you might get hooked on sock making!
Nice projects! I, too, am much better at starting things than finishing so have lots of UFOs and WIPs. Love your goals. I need to do more shopping from the stash!
I love your hat projects!! I will be adding a few of these patterns to my wish list.
