Mali's B-day Gifts




Mali Mehtlan turned two not too long ago. I made the cardigan and pullover just in time. The patterns came from a company called "Cabin Fever." They specialize in simple, knit from the top down projects. These didn't take that long at all. I spruced up the pullover by adding a beaded design from Jane Davis' Knitting with Beads book. All in all, they were fun to make and even more fun to give.

Jim's New Single Cable Chargers Hat

I wanted to make Jim a new Chargers hat for this coming football season. The last one I made for him a few years ago had a stripe that didn't line up correctly. Meg's jogless jog (http://tiajudy.com/jog.htm) alleviated the problem this time.

Richard's Aran Socks


These socks are a Christmas present for my brother in law, Richard. I got the pattern from Wendy Johnson's second book (Toe Up Socks for Every Body), which is available at the Dove Library. It's really a great book!
