I've been insanely busy with classes so I haven't really been knitting, but I just did some super quick and easy knitting projects and I thought I'd share them (these have all been done in the past weeks and they each took an evening or less).

I started making this hat in 2002. The pattern is from a booklet (price 10 cents!) published in 1936. I decided to use some very nice antique wool fingering yarn that I've had sitting around for some time. The yarn is medium grey with a blue tone and a kind of tweediness I like very much. Here's how far I got:

The knitting Olympics are upon us so hopefully I will have more soon. (I know you're always saying we need more knitting posts. I do have a really nice tube top I'm almost done with that I promise to post. It's GORGEOUS.)

And since it took so long, an extra special piece too. And I'm also posting information about how to keep your favourite knitted items in their original shape (natural fibres tend to stretch, shrink, etc.)

Here it is:

(Or: Lambert you asked for it) http://www.correntewire.com/knitherapy_or_lambert_you_asked_for_it 2008-06-08T19:55:34-04:00 2008-06-10T11:50:24-04:00 LostClown Awhile ago Lambert welcomed knitters from Ravelry, more specifically coming from the Just Hillary group. (Though he didn't know that.) He said he wished we posted about knitting. So I am posting about knitting and our lovely group, but there are lots of pretty pictures.

Here's my (almost finished) latest project:

This is the back piece.
