New Year's Resolution gone to pot




Well, I did get the Spring Thaw Socks finished, then got side-tracked with K's new cardi, a brimmed hat, church offering mitts, 4ply kilthose, Ten stitch patterns for a workshop, bunny blanket buddies, tea cosy with a Yorkshire theme, fingerless gloves for local wool shop ...

Details - K's cardi is Jamieson & Smith 2ply jumperweight, machine knitted.
Brimmed hat is from an old Sirdar pattern and not very good, in my opinion, as the band is too narrow and flares too much.
The socks look really odd if left to their own devices - I think this is because it is twisted rib stich with smooth stocking stitch underfoot.
Teacosy is machine knit the magic "card 2" then thrown in the washing machine.
Scarf is double crochet through backs of loops only, except for fringe ends which are crocheted through two loops as normal. I rather think it looks like a drippy waterfall.
Bunny blanket buddies are a free Lion Brand pattern, they say should be twice this size!
