Many things have come off the hooks and needles in the last couple of weeks in a holiday frenzy. Here are some of them:
1. Vertiginous (San Juan Bautista Shawl KAL)
Interesting construction and a nice birthday gift for my sister.
2. Erica (Woolly Wormhead Mystery KAL Hat)
This is a wonderful hat; be sure to check out the many finished hats on ravelry to see how cute the version with the peaked brim is.
4. Beetle Hill (Infinity Scarf)
Gift for my niece, it is a chunky version of the Fisher Hill Cowl I made for myself. I used two yarns held together, a worsted weight plus a sock yarn.
Now go on over to Tami's Amis and see what else has come off the hooks and needles this week.

I've had the pleasure of having patterns with essays published in the two What Would Madame Defarge Knit volumes published by Cooperative Press.
Shannon Okey, aka Knitgrrl,is a real innovator in craft publishing, especially on the digital side. Cooperative Press titles reflect the creative visions of the individual knit and crochet designers, not a corporate editorial board.
Her business model is innovative as well, and designers are well compensated.
