First up, a hat! This is knit out of Blue Sky Alpaca's Alpaca/Silk. This yarn is unbelievably soft and wonderful. I bought 4 skeins, which yielded 2 hats. The first hat (not pictured), I gave to my dad. I knit the hat on size 6 circulars holding 2 strands together. Using a formula of cast on 100 stitches, k2 p2 for 5 inches, k for 5 inches, and then decrease every other row, the hat took slightly more than 2 skeins.

This is the second hat. I knit this from the top-down (see project gallery for details). By decreasing the brim by about an inch, I used up the remaining yarn and had a bit for a pompom. The blue on this hat is some Koigu that I crocheted around the sloppy edge (one of the probs with top-down). I also added some Koigu to the pompom and duplicate stitched some onto the body of the hat for some pizzazz.

Here you see my two finished logcabin squares. The blue/green one has been finished for a couple of months, the orange/pink was finished over Thanksgiving weekend. Now I just need another blue/green and orange/pink and I'll have a nice little blanket. It was nice knitting on the orange/pink square in the car because it kept my lap warm, providing just the right amount of warmth.

Here's one more look:

And finally...

Here's my start to the Circle of Friends Baby Blanket. I'm just about finished with the red section, next is cream, then dark blue, aqua, and light blue. After that, just six more strips to go! I am loving the Crayon yarn, it is soft and drapey. Although, I think it is probably best for blankets and scarves. A sweater or hat wouldn't have much structure.

Off to play with my b-day present from Kevin... Dance Dance Revolution!!!!!!
