First off, here is my awesome package from the 80s TV Swap on Ravelry...





There are two skeins of Austermann's Bombolo (gray) and one skein of Bouclerone (black) to make the Bombolo scarf. There was a cute note and the 1st season of Growing Pains on DVD, which was one of my favorite shows in the 80s.


Here is the scarf now...





And the crappy self-portrait view...





I started the scarf at 8pm and was finished (with ends woven in) at 9:45pm. On size 17 needles, this was a super zippy knit. And yes, I wore it the next day!




Here is the sock I'm calling Eddie's Socks in honor of the fact that I started the sock the night that Kevin and I went to see Eddie Izzard. I needed something quick and simple for the train/subway rides.





The sock is ribbed which is why it is so skinny. I even ribbed the heel just because I felt like it. (Eddie's show was awesome by the way and we had super close seats!)




And lastly, here is the replacement Tash hat for the one that had a hole...





I love knitting with the Jo Sharp Silkroad Aran Tweed. I wish I could afford to make an entire sweater out of it, but for now I'll stick to hats. I've altered the pattern a bit because it was designed to be knit flat and seamed (which is the only part of my original hat that I hated). I'm knitting it in the round, which basically meant eliminating 3 seam stitches, no biggie.




Oh, and because he's the cutest thing around these parts, I'll leave you with a picture of the hammie...
