I ordered these GoKnit Pouches last week, from Scout's Swag.

Navy


Camo


These are the small, and they're great for small project like socks or a hat.

Wasabi Socks in Navy GoKnit Pouch

Here is a pic of my Malabrigo Koolhaas Hat. So far, I've done the 2x2 band and 2 rounds of the chart.




And, here's a pic of my Wasabi Socks. I'm not planning to do anything special - just generic toe-up socks and 2x2 ribbing at the cuff.

Last night I started over on my first Malabrigo Koolhaas Hat (formerly known as just 'Koolhaas Hat'). And, with how good my Evergreen Koolhaas Hat turned out, I'm really hopeful with this one.

I had to rip out the Hooded Alpaca Parka sweater (from Knitting with Balls by Micael del Vecchio). I deviated slightly from the pattern and the project has been hibernating for so long, that I can't remember what my plan was going to be.

The pattern called for starting with (sl1, p2) and ending with (p2, k1) and for some reason, I started and ended with 5 sts. Plus, the pattern called for 5X2 rib on the RS and purl the WS and I had done all rows in 5X2 rib.

I'm still not following the pattern to the letter - I prefer doing all rows in 5X2 rib (instead of purling every-other row). Plus, it calls for sport weight yarn and I'm using Aran weight.

And, for some reason, back in November I posted the following about this project. "This is a slight variation on the Hooded Alpaca Parka pattern from Knitting With Balls (by Michael del Vecchio). It's done in 5X2 rib and the pattern calls for the 2 stitches to be cabled on the right side, but I'm doing it straight." I have no idea why I said the pattern called for cabling - it doesn't.

I finished my first Everlasting Bagstopper. I used handles from this pattern.

I recently ordered a Ravelry bag from the Ravelry Mini-Mart.

Wow. That's some green


I also bought Ravelry and Bob pins


As well as a "Hello. My Name Is (Inigo Montoya. You killed my father prepare to die) button

I finally finished the Hot pair of my Hot & Cold Socks project. I had planned to do some type of cable along the outside of the leg, but couldn't decide which cable to use. Instead, I just finished the leg in 2x2 ribbing.
