Green sock progress

Here is my progress on the Mayan green lace stockings I am making.  Progress is going slow.  We have been pretty sick for the last two months at our home from sinus infections, ruptured ear drums, bronchitis ....  It is all I can do to get a good nights rest these days.  But some things have been made some I never took photos of while my computer was crashed.  But I will continue to post some of the projects I have been making some progress on.  I still hope to have enough yarn to make winter tights if not I will end up with a nice pair of socks all the same.

Pompom yarn scarf

I was playing with pom pom yarn on Monday for a little bit. It is interesting the way the pom poms line dup to make rows in the scarf. Size 9 knitting needles.

 

It is pretty amazing how soft this is. My middle daughter kept telling me it was her scarf but then everything I make she tells me is hers.  It worked up pretty quick too.

Reindeer chicken and penguin

These are some hats that my niece tried on.  The reindeer is not in the book but you can easily change the monkey pattern that  is in the book to make the reindeer.  Need to add a crocheted flower and chains of crochet for hair plus add felt antlers sort of like the crabs craws (you will see that later too)and ears. I wanted it to be a little girl deer so I added hair and a flower to it.  It was specially made to match her Christmas outfit that had reindeer on the feet and bum.
