Landscape Shawl

 

Decided to knit a small shawl for when I'm feeling chilly in the evening
Real Grandma stuff!!

I used this pattern before and liked the result

Made various modifications to the pattern
I varied the depth of the stocking stitch panels but kept the lace to 3 repeats until the last band
I made it longer and then used a picot cast off

Pattern: Easy Peazy Scarf/ Shawlette by Megan Delorme.

2024 GKRKB February Hats

 

A tradition seems to have been established that I knit a hat for each of the  5R's to collect when they come for Thanksgiving

An easy pattern to follow
I did not make the double brim just one thickness of K1P1 rib

I cast on 96 stitches as I tend to knit tightly so I had to modify the crown decreases

The body of the hat has blocks of different stitches 
I followed the pattern exactly in the Pink Dust for miss B.

The others have various combinations of moss stiich and broken rib.

The purple and blue hats also have a slipstitch rib section

Blue Brown Marl Socks

 Something to keep me occupied at night

I have used this pattern before and it worked very well (September 2012)
I used a grey marl for the cuffs and heels to make sure that there was enough yarn for the main sock.

There was quite a lot of  coloured yarn left from each sock. 

I probably could have got the heel or the cuff out of the main colour but not both

20 rows rib on 2.75 mm for cuff then change to 3mm for the body of the sock

Plain vanilla heel this time
