Knitting Progress and a Challenge

The vest is slowly progressing but right now it’s just boring old garter stitch on the fronts, so no update pictures to show right now.

The earl grey socks are up to the start of the heel – again not really picture-worthy progress… so, instead, I hope you enjoy these little diversions I’ve been knitting…

Shop samples for the yarn displays…

A little umbilical cord hat (Ultra Alpaca), a wee sock (tofutsies) and a mini-vest (Cashsoft) …


Oh, and these are gadget covers. I knit these as samples for the class that starts on Thursday, I’ll be doing an after school knitting class for kids. I need to add closures and possible handles or something, but these are the basic models. One is knit with chunky and one is knit with worsted. Same # of stitches just changed yarn and needle size.

Now for the challenge:
