WIP Wednesday

From right to left: rib and cable hat, sock for husband, yoga bag and leaf tee shirt.
These are my WIP's. I'm starting off September with some different things. Another rib and cable hat for my friend in Colorado (she wanted summer hats, by the time she gets this one, it will be winter, oh, well there's always next summer). But all I have to do is finish the i-cord trim, ie, sew it on. It's from the Knit.1 (spring 2007) issue.
The sock for my husband from Favorite Socks. (Yes, the one I had a problem with last week.) It's the Eesti Trail Hiking Sock (pg 97). But I've tried it on him and it fits rather well, so my revisions worked okay.
The lacy yoga bag from Interweave Knits (summer 2007). My yoga mat needs a home to live in.
And the leaf tee shirt that I saw at aquaknits, but she got the pattern from knitting school dropout. Both are new blogs to me that I've added to my sidebar. Check them out when you've got the time. When I saw this, I just had to knit it and I had the yarn in my stash -- Brown Sheep and Co., turquoise I think. I'll have to dig up the tag later. It's been in my stash for about three years or so, I had bought two skeins and finally just wound them into balls last Friday. I rarely make sweaters for myself, hats, socks and hats seem to be what I do, but I wanted to try this one -- it's going really fast.
I hope everyone had a great Labor Day Weekend, and a great football kick off! I love the college football, fall is just around the corner! (I may be able to start baking again, it's been too hot!)
Have a great one!!!!
{Ella wanted me to tell everyone that Mom sewed the Grinch's nose back on and thanks all the dogs whose moms left comments for her! Whine, moan, small woof!} (Ella doesn't really bark, she sort of whine/talks to me.)

Great WIPs! I love aquaknits! I haven't checked out knitting school dropout yet but I will. Thanks!

I like your idea of WIP Wed. It's a neat way to show all of the stuff you're working on without multiple posts about various WIP's. Know what I mean? ha ha...

Can't wait to see what develops.

WIP Wed is an interesting day! So which one is the winner today? I love the Grinch story.

I like your idea too. I am always screaming "where is the camera, someone please take pictures for my blog"! This will consolidate it for me. Your projects are terrific. You are one busy lady. Oliver says woof to Emma and says join us on: Dogsonthursday.blogspot.com
