November and December: Busy Knitting!

I was so busy knitting I didn't even think about updating the blog with progress! This Christmas I had a goal to give everyone handmade gifts. I started knitting in November, and finished everything in time! Now, I did have some cheats. We bought gifts for my in-laws, because they really wouldn't appreciate hand-made items. The exception to this is my FIL, who has liked the hats I made him. I made two for him, but gave them before Christmas cause he is bald from chemo. I also gave the gift of money to my cousin who is a freshman in college. I remember how broke I always was, and thought he could probably use the cash more than a hat. :)

So, on with the projects. I started off November knitting at Blackberry Farm.
It was a relaxing and beautiful start to the season.

I made the Anthropology Inspired Capelet twice, using my hand dyed yarns and commercial yarns.


I made two more dishcloths



I made hats for my FIL, niece and nephew using my own handspun yarn.




Here's a wimple I made for my mom.


I did a little spinning

Which I turned into three matching Calorimetries for me and my sisters.


I made the EZ Snail Hat for a friend:


Another hat for Bill using very squishy alpaca.


I finally finished the hat for my granddad that I started last December.


I also made a hat for my dad.


My aunt requested a sewn purse which only took a couple of hours to make.


I also made myself a dress, but haven't had a chance to photograph it yet. Plus, it's my November/December entry for Sew Retro, so I'll make a post devoted just to it.
