What I've done on my Vacation

Here are two things I made on my first few days of vacation. We took the train from Albany to Orlando. That was a lot of fun. We had a sleeper compartment and I was able to get some knitting done. Now we are visting my parents here in Cocoa Beach.

Pattern: Baby’s First Hat (from Blue Sky)
Yarn: Blue Sky Organic Cotton Color #84 Pebble I think I have almost half a skein left.
Needles Britanny’s Size 7

First I finished this hat for a colleague that had a baby in November. I really like using the Blue Sky cotton, it is very soft. The pattern was pretty easy to follow and I like the braided fringe. I think I might try this hat again with a colored base and a green top and fringe to make it look like a flower.

Pattern:Super Mitts
Yarn: Bulky Varigated Merino in Grapejuice from Morehouse Farms Color is better on their website.
Needles: Brittany’s size

I bought the mitten kit from Morehouse Farms during one of their sales. I pal of mine got me started with Morehouse and it is a dream to knit with. My first part of mittens. They were fun to make. The bulky yarn made it easy to see what I was doing and see my mistakes.

My current project is leg warmers in the same colorway but in double ply. They seem to be taking for ever
