Summer night madness - day 3

You might ask what happened to day 2. May SKA socks happened and they are still not ready.

However I did finish my second challenge. It didn't turn up as expected. My suspicions about running out of yarn was proven true so instead of a hat it turned out to be head band. Now I am concerned with one other project. I meant do do a shawlette for me but it will turn up being tiny. I think I will give it a go but have put it in the bottom of the pile so plenty of time to change my mind.



For day 3 project I started a cushion cover making two big granny sqeares.

Summer night madness - day 1

I started with a hat for hubby from bulky yarn. And tadaa - I finished it. Good start for this challenge. I am not terribly pleased with the end result thou. I knew I would run out of yarn and would need to do a bit with different yarn. It doesn't look too bad. If I manage to add a lining to it hubby might even use it.

Here piccies:



For the rest of the day the plan was to knit my May SKA (Sock Knitters Anonymous) challenge socks which I didn't manage to finish in May. However I started making a swatch for an Owl hat for my daughter and now I am 15 rows in. Little bit worried that I might run out of yarn again. This time I don't have anything suitable to finish it off with so lets hope it won't happen.
