I update the FOS: 2010 page to reflect the couple of projects I finished up in December. All in all a slow knitting year- only 8 finished projects and 2 were started in 2009. I blame that endless scarf! Well, also a really insanely busy summer with finishing grad school and all that.
I ended up throwing two last minute Christmas knitting projects in, both hats. To match the Green Treads I made earlier this year, I made my mom a hat with the linen stitch in a black band.

For Jasper’s Nana, who I want to be when I’m 90, I knit the 16 Cables Hat in a yarn I just discovered, Neighborhood Fiber Co. It’s a nice worsted washable, and the color is totally not captured by the picture. I almost came home with it in orange and red and green too– all the colors are just gorgeously intense and variegated.

She seemed to really like it, and told me that no one knits anything for her. Plus she asked for the pattern, which you know is a good compliment from a knitter!
I only had my iPhone with me on our endless trek, which made me sad because the photos are not up to par. We drove from Virginia to Cape Ann in Massachusetts to Pennsylvania to Maryland and home over 2 weeks. Also, through a blizzard the day after Christmas. I need another vacation where all I do is lay around the house!
