knitting recently

[incandescens]

So, recent knitting:

Hooded poncho for a friend's toddler -- made with variegated yarn, which somehow came out into a rather symmetrical pattern. The yarn is cotton/acrylic, so should be reasonably tough.
Hat for coworker's grandchild -- the original pattern was a flat-top beret, and I think they must have miscounted the decreases in the pattern, but it still looks cute.
Shawl for myself -- the photo hasn't come out very well, but the colours are dark brown/light brown/red, and it's nicely muted.
Zimmermann Baby Surprise Jacket and open view -- for the same baby as the earlier hat. I am rather smug about this one.

Quiet day here.

Those are excellent! I love the pattern the yarn made on the first one.

I was stunned by the pattern but very pleased! (As was the coworker who got it.)

You've knit a most wondrous coat of many colours. The recipient isn't named Joseph, by any chance? ^_^

[incandescens]

No, though it would have been oh so amusing. :)

They do the most amazing multicoloured yarns these days. Such fun!

Wow, I love that jacket especially!

I'm busy making a Chain Chomp Hat (http://www.knittingninja.com/?page_id=138) at the moment... it's fun!

The jacket was very neat when made up! And could be less gaudy if the knitter wanted. :)

The Chain Chomp Hat is cute. (bookmarks)

Sorry, mine. ;)

I love the BSJ, it's such a great pattern.

[incandescens]

It is! My first attempt at it, but probably not my last.

Those are so cool! I love the colours of the shawl. :)

Thank you! (I would have made it even larger, but I only had 10 balls of that yarn.)
