The first two of these FOs I couldn't show you because they were birthday gifts for my mom.

Remember the snake scarf? I finished it back in December and have been saving it for a couple of months!

This, I couldn't resist making for mom. I've had the yarn for a couple of years (it is Rowan Kidsilk Haze if you don't recognize its glow). Purple is one of mom's favorite colors. While I had tried making things with this yarn before, it wasn't until I thought about making a sideways scarf with a bit of lacy detail that an idea stuck.

Now mom has these scarfs and told me that she was wearing them proudly!

Just today, I finished another knit that I've been plucking away at for a few weeks. Since finishing Thea, I had two skeins of yarn left over and I noticed that the gorgeous hat on the back cover of "Precious" required two skeins of said yarn, so there you go!

No modelling pics of the hat because I'm sick and haven't showered in two days. I like it (next time would knit it in the round to avoid the seaming) and I love how she hid the decreases in the cable rounds. On the model in the book, the hat has a nice slouchy effect. On me, it looks a bit more conehead. I'm thinking that it might need a bath to relaxing the cables a bit.

What's next to knit? I'm not sure. I've got one pair of socks that's about 70% finished, so I might try to knock that out this week while I'm on spring break.

Yay! Spring break with a cold! Yay! Spring break with literally 150 papers and exams to grade. Wee!!!!
