Knitting Bug keeps Biting

The knitting bug has bitten me, and now I'm on a knitting kick. (That may change soon though, because this evening I went to a local quilting guild meeting and had a great time. I was inspired to make a quilt or finish a few of the quilts I've started!)

Right now I am in the middle of not one, not two, not three, but four knitting projects--all on the needles, or soon to be.

In order of priority:

1. Surprise for a certain baby not yet born whose mom might read this blog.

2. Surprise for another baby whose mom is co-owner of this blog. :-)

3. Promised purse for Katie. Yes, Katie, I WILL knit your purse. Soon. Hopefully.

4. Green striped socks which are almost done but keep getting pushed to the bottom of the list.

I have managed to finish a couple of projects. The first is a hat I knit for Heather using this "chullo" pattern I found online. The pattern forms a star-of-sorts on the top of the hat, a nice effect. I have more yarn, and Heather said she would like a matching scarf. I used a wool-soy blend of yarn by Patton. Interesting yarn.

I also knit this simple hat for Mark for Christmas. He likes it!

Lastly, although I did not knit this pink hat for Emily, I have to show it. It was knit by 10 year old Ellen on the Knifty Knitter loom that she received for Christmas. I think she did a great job on the hat! Unfortunately, Emily does not particularly like hats. :-)
