Yarn: Filatura di Crosa 127 Print, size 6 needles

Notes: Size 6 needles, only decreased for 12 rows.

Pattern Source: My own head.

Yarn: Plymouth Encore Worsted, size 6 needles

Notes: I knit about 9 inches before the decreases. Then I decreased by p2tog, ribbed 5 rounds, k2tog, ribbed 3 rounds, k2tog all around twice.

Pattern Source: Created by Nik

Yarn: Dunno, size 6 needles

Notes: I cast on 113 stitches and then cast off 23 at the appropriate place. I should have knit for another inch because the hat is a little small, but not terrible.

Pattern Source: This one is from the top down. Cast on 12, increase 1 stitch per every three stitches. Knit 1 round plain. Increase 1 stitch per every four stitches. Knit 1 round plain. Repeat increasing (and increasing the number of stitches between increases) until 104 stitches total. Knit around until seems big enough (about 5 inches from last increase round). K2, P2 for the brim for about 4-6 inches as per your preference.

Yarn: Blue Sky Alpaca's Alpaca and Silk (two strands held together), size 6 needles (blue is Koigu to crochet edge, added to pompom, and duplicate stitched for decoration).

Notes: I originally bought 4 skeins of Alpaca/Silk. I made a hat for my dad and had enough left over for a hat for me.

Pattern Source: My own simple ribbed pattern.

Yarn: Toasy Toes of course!

Notes: I finished off these socks that were originally started in July. The second sock is still 8 stitches bigger than the first. Somewhere around the heel on the first sock I decreased 8 stitches, I don't know where or how. Both socks have 52 stitches for the ribbing and 26 stitches at the heel, but then the first sock is 44 stitches around the foot. Where'd the 8 stitches go?! So, one sock fits slightly better than the other, but at this point I don't care.

Pattern Source: Just simple K1, P1 on the right side, P all on the wrong side

Yarn: 127 Print, size 8 needles

Notes: None.
