A Big Pile-O-Knits

I'm home from my travels and I have a big pile of knits to show for it.

The first one up is the Brat Sister Hat in Swan Island worsted, Robin's Egg Blue...

The second completed is my pair of Kaibashira socks, made from Tofutsies yarn. They came out so cute and fit perfectly.

The next project finished was the Fish Socks (my design). I love these! They're made from Crystal Palace Panda Silk and are so soft. They hold my feet like a foot massage!

Aftre that I completed the Puck's Scarf in Quince & Co. Osprey yarn in Honey and the Kelpie Helmet in Quince & Co. Puffin (same colourway):

The Pucks scarf is super long and wraps around my neck twice and still hangs down on both sides:

and the Kelpie hat is very cute on! I tried to take a picture of myself in the mirror, but my iphone camera is just not sharp enough for a reflected image...

and - finally - I knit yarns and yards of this beautiful cashmere sock yarn (from SockcandybyMelissa.etsy.com) and finished a Balaclava for myself!

Do you think I'll be warm enough this winter???

Oh... I also brought home a little head cold. Does that count as a souvenir? Eh, I don't think so. My favorite healing tactic - lying on the couch watching Mapp & Lucia videos on my laptop and knitting. Works every time.

Your choice of yarn and color is so delicate. Made me remember my New Year´s resolution- only to work with the very best material.
