Bunny Hop

The first of what promises to be a raft of baby items knit in wild anticipation of my first grandchild who is expected on December 21st. Since we don’t yet know boy or girl, I chose a neutral color. This was a quick one-day project. Bunny Hop yarn from Crystal Palace on size 6 dp needles. The pattern came free with yarn purchased from a hole-in-the-wall knit shop in Sandy Oregon.

Sock Hop

The $45 socks were so much fun I had to make another pair. A little cheaper this time! Same pattern, however, as once I got it mastered, it worked pretty well. These socks are made from TOFUtsies, a new product composed of 50% Superwash Wool, 25% Soysilk, 22.5% Cotton and 2.5% Chitin (made from shrimp and crab shells). Purchased from the Yarn Garden in Portland. I am using a set of five size 1 dp needles and this time one skein will make two socks.

Boa Coat

This is the new color from Columbia Sports. A lot got lost in the translation as it is BRIGHT green. The gray spots on the scarf are actually the same green but they look really washed out in the photo. The scarf is made from cotton/mohair with a simple stockinette stitch on size 11 needles. My Spring coat and light airy scarf for a Spring that is very late in coming to the Northwest.
