knitting progress

as promised, here's a little update on my knitting.  in addition to the cute little mini scarf i first made, i have now completed 2 other projects.  first, i made a beanie for saraya.  to emphasize the importance of gauge, please note that i did not measure her head and that is why this beanie has a bit of a yamaka look to it!  at least her stuffed animals can wear it until i make an appropriately-sized hat.  after the beanie fail i attempted to make a cowl scarf for myself.  i used the free honey cowl pattern and a beautiful skein of hand-dyed yarn from madeline tosh.  next time i would use two skeins.  it was a very easy pattern to follow.  and on my needles right now is a beanie for justin in olive green.  this one should be better than the last beanie fiasco.  wish me luck!

almost done!

i love these colors!  luckily i have enough yarn left to do this right-sized.
