		<title>A Tale of Two Socks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m doing two different socks at the same time.  One is toe-up, a lovely sock yarn called Denali from Pagewood Farms.  Brandy approves mightily of this lovely yarn.

The socks are for my cousin Marie, who showed me a pair of socks I had knit her a few years back (out of 100% wool, before I [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=revknits.wordpress.com&blog=5946309&post=678&subd=revknits&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>A Christmas Wish</title>
		<description><![CDATA[


Most of us who gather in Bethlehem on this night
Are not the star seekers.
We’ve not traveled our dreams
Month after month, year after year,
Poring over predictions and promises.
Most of us sit on our hillsides
Tending our sheep,
Business as usual.
Oh, we’ve heard rumors of stars,
But we don’t really give ourselves to seeking
After all, there’s more than enough to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=revknits.wordpress.com&blog=5946309&post=672&subd=revknits&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Baby item cuteness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ok, I admit it, I really, really like my Under the Big Top Hat pattern.  So much that I knitted these for a friend expecting a baby, and made some socks to match:

In washable wool (a combo of Aurora 8 and GGH Maxima), they will be easy care for the Mom and Dad.

		<title>Twist, for sure</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The addiction continues.  Twist has cast a spell over me, and I am helpless to resist.  These popped over the weekend:

And I caught this photo, and I didn&#8217;t even know that Izzie was there &#8211; kinda cool.

The improvised pattern uses a tubular cast-on for 36 stitches, then do a mini-cable to go into [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=revknits.wordpress.com&blog=5946309&post=667&subd=revknits&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>One of these things is not like the other one</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Blocking matters, even when you don&#8217;t think it will.  I just finished a pair of Dash mittens.   I blocked the first one so that I would know whether it would fit the intended recipient &#8211; I was worried that the wrist might be tight. It turned out ok, then I knit the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=revknits.wordpress.com&blog=5946309&post=662&subd=revknits&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>FO:  Hap Blanket</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I also have been working on an item for a baby &#8211; so fun to knit for them.  This is meant not to be a keepsake, but a workhorse baby blanket that can go into the washer and dryer with no second thoughts.  Easy on the Mom and Dad, and not-too-warm for the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=revknits.wordpress.com&blog=5946309&post=637&subd=revknits&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Just One More</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I thought all the gift knitting was done with the matching hat for Verdigris.  But then it got really, really cold for the SF Bay Area.  Now I know all the East Coasters and Midwesterners are chortling at the thought of a high in the 50s, and low in the 20s qualifying as [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=revknits.wordpress.com&blog=5946309&post=649&subd=revknits&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Pattern:  Verdigris Matching Hat (free)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I finished the Verdrigris Mittens back in the summer, and along the way, I got the notion that I wanted to do a hat in addition to the mittens for a set.  But there was no way there was enough yarn to complete them, so I pondered a lot.  Finally, I just bit [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=revknits.wordpress.com&blog=5946309&post=640&subd=revknits&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>FO:  Icing Swirl Hat</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I finished the Icing Swirl Hat by Ysolda &#8212; again, another item in the lovely Malabrigo Twist.  Conveniently, it matches the Argante Shawl that I just finished!


Since it&#8217;s gonna be verra cold and rainy in the Bay Area this week, I&#8217;m very glad that I have this hat to wear.

		<title>Pattern:  Under the Big Top Hat</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A while back I created a baby hat pattern that has gone through a couple of submission cycles, and other ways to market it.  It&#8217;s been a journey, but now I&#8217;m making it available through Bluebird Yarn and Fiber and on Ravelry as a download.  Thanks to Leslie and Judy, who were test-knitters for this [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=revknits.wordpress.com&blog=5946309&post=631&subd=revknits&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
