Yarn: Malabrigo Sock in “Impressionist Sky”
Pattern: Celtic Braid Socks #157 by Lynda Gemmell
Notes: Made the cuff a little bit shorter as the recipient wanted shorter socks; also played around with the ribbing on the foot to keep my brain occupied for eleven million inches.

Yarn: Blue Sky Alpaca Sport Weight 100% Alpaca
Pattern: Modified from a headband pattern I made years ago (and many times since), Nakiska by Amy Swenson
Notes: I threw in different cables since I’ve made this pattern about six times. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great pattern (obviously since I’ve made it so many times) but sometimes I just like to change it up.

No; not the movie. Although I named it that because I knit the majority of it while at the movie. Did I mention 3D movies give me migraines? Yeah. Just found that out, at this movie.

Yarn: Blue Sky Alpaca sport weight in “Currant”
Pattern: Gathered Pullover by Hana Jason
Notes: for a mostly stockinette project, this took a lot longer than I originally thought. But then, I did also start and finish three other smaller projects while working on this one…! If you’re on Ravelry you can read my notes; suffice to say that I used a yarn that did not get anywhere near the right gauge but thanks to my old frienemy MATH, it all worked out in the end. I absolutely love this pullover. LOVE! IT!
