I finally got a day off… today… and got gastroenteritis!  But it’s resolving.  Must just be a 24 hour bug.

I made two hats last weekend.  It’s made with Chunky Marble by James Brett.  Pattern is Iris, from the book Artyfacts.

This hat is Tycho, from knitty.com.  I used chunky yarns, one was Blue Lagoon Mosaic Twist by Yarn Bee, which is acrylic with blues and greens.  The other color is Dynamite Blue, Lamb’s Pride Bulky.  This one finally seems sized almost correct.  I might have to make one for myself.

I also made several pairs of my favorite slipper pattern.  Unfortunately, none of the others got their picture taken.  They were all made with Marble yarn on top, and acrylic on the bottom.  But the brown pair had a brown wool/cotton blend on the bottom, Schulana Merino-Cotton.

Bailey!  That yarn isn’t for you.

The snow all melted today.  :(  But here are some pictures from right before Christmas.
