Still alive, I promise!

So, really... I am still alive and kickin'. I got totally wrapped up in the Ravelympics over on Ravelry. I am so hopelessly addicted to that site. Love. But, here's what was finished:


First up, the Butterfly Hat in Malabrigo Merino Worsted, colorway "Black Forest". Lovely yarn, a bit more purple-y than the color shows, just not feeling it with this pattern. Looks like spiders, right? Off to the donation bin we go...

Next up, what I thought would be my moment of triumph. Here we present the Chevalier Mittens, again in Malabrigo Merino Worsted, colorway "Ibiza" (which I personally think has changed names to "Emerald Blue").

So, so pretty... worked up fairly quickly, and not so bad for my third attempt at cables, ever. So imagine my horror... I knitted the first mitten (on the right hand) on size 2 needles. I knitted the second mitten (on the left hand, duh) on size 3 needles. *cry* The left mitten has been ripped out and is currently in time out in the yarn closet.



Finally, success! These are the River Rapids Socks by Sockbug, in Mountain Colors Bearfoot, colorway "Copper". Size 0 needles, no mods. They fit me perfectly, and I'm thinking... possibly State Fair submission. :-D Remember, for any picture on this blog, clickety-biggity.

Also completed, a pair of Fleegle-ized Saartje booties! They were well received at the baby shower, and an excellent way to use up almost all my leftovers from the Eleanor socks:
