Yarn: Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Sock in “Berry”
Needles: Size 2 straights or circulars
Pattern: May is for Ari
Notes: Continuing with 2008: A Year in Scarves… we have May is for Ari. Ari is the twin sister of my now five-year-old god-daughter (who was the inspiration for last month’s scarf), and of course she is also very into pink! Although the girls are twins, they aren’t identical. So just like Ari being both skinnier and taller than her sister, the May scarf is thinner and longer than April’s scarf. They are both, however, made from the same yarn (the scarves, not the sisters) and have very similar stitch patterns. Similar, but not exactly alike.

Yarn: Yarn Pirate Merino/Tencel in “Butternut”
Needles: Size 2 DPNs
Pattern: Peaks & Valleys from the book Knit Socks
Notes: A late birthday present!

With the stuff I decided to flat out pitch, I got it down to eight bins. If anyone wants to buy any of the following grab bags, I can get it down to seven bins. Be forewarned that none of this is “the good stuff”. It’s all stuff I bought with projects in mind and then either started and gave up on, or never got around to starting, or is the extra from project over-buying, etc. Most of this would be great for charity knitting, or baby afghans, and so on. I really need to destash, and this is the easiest stuff to start with. I just couldn’t bring myself to start with the sock yarn! So, take a look if you dare. There are two prices; one if you can pick it up (I can bring it to the shop, as I am most easily found there) and a different price including postage if I’m mailing it to you. I happily take cash, PayPal, or if I know you, a check. Sorry, no bartering with pigs or chickens.

Pattern: It’s a HAT! Cast on in the afternoon. Knit ribbing while waiting at Hops. Knit in the round until Iron Man tests his suit. Decrease the next day. Bind off.
Notes: I had to have something to knit when we went to go see Iron Man the other night, so… here it is! Future Christmas gift!

One sleeve is sewed on; one still to go. I may actually finish this sweater in this lifetime… though I still suspect the store may catch on fire/we might have an earthquake/freak tornado… something massive may happen that will cause me not to finish this…
