Lion Brand Lion Wool in Color 609 Winter White
Size 8 Circular and Double-Points
Pattern from: SouleMama
Completed: March 5, 2006
Note: Yes, this is the third hat I have made using this pattern. This one was meant to be a gift for a chemotherapy patient, but I fear the wool is a little too itchy, so I am going to gift her the pink version which is much softer. The hat is a bit smaller with the smaller needles and it is very fitted. I love the fit.

Note: I gifted the pink version of this to a chemotherapy patient and it was a perfect fit, so she asked me to make her a few more. This is the third in that series, something to match her Easter attire. I have to admit, I am getting bored making the same hat over and over again, but it suits her. One more to go. I hated this yarn by the way.

Completed: April 1, 2006
Note: Yes, it should be bigger. Yes, I should have double-stranded or used Lamb's Pride Bulky, but it came out kinda cool and it's a great cat toy holder, even if it can't hold the cat that plays with the toys. Live and learn.

Second sock completed: May 8, 2006
Note: My very first socks. Thanks to my knitting guru, Needlefingers, I survived this first pair. I am thrilled with the outcome and only hope my stitches get tighter and I grit my teeth less when I do the short row shaping and Kitchner.

Yoga Mat Bag
Sugar & Cream Cotton in Playtime
Pattern from Stitch N Bitch Nation
Size 8 & 9 Circular Needles
Completed: May 6, 2006
Note: A Mother's Day gift for my mom, her yoga mat is orange, so it will match perfectly. I was unhappy with how I connected the strap to the bag, and would probably pick up stitches next time and go from there. I also didn't use a purchased tie was the pattern suggested. Instead I created my own I-cord tie. I felt it would match better than anything I could purchase.

Completed: May 30 & May 31, 2006 (Lopi Bowls) June 7, 2006 (Lambs Pride Bowl)
Notes: I had to felt the Lopi bowls three times and I am still not happy with them. I felted the Lambs Pride twice, but it was very creased and unevenly felted. I am blaming the washer and size of the item. Overall, these were disappointing. Blame it on the knitter.
