While looking at these photos, I'm thinking maybe someone has been spending too much time in front of the tv. Ernie doesn't like to watch the Olympics, I do. I'll check on things during the day but mostly I watch after he goes to bed-prime knitting time.
I finished up this cute little hat I showed last week. I didn't follow the directions completely because I used larger yarn but I think it turned out cute. I will not be making a hat that fits Mr. Bear's super large head.
I started over on my July socks. I decided to not give up on the gray wool. In keeping with the guidelines of the 12 in 2012 Challenge, I will be doing the heel flap and the toes with the 2 tone yarn.
I went yarn shopping the other day to get what I wanted for Christmas gifts. I picked up 2 large skeins of this yarn to use for 2 scarves based on this pattern. This is the first time I've used this yarn. I am waiting for the run of the white to appear. I don't want this to look like a skunk with the white going right down the center of the hood. If it does, I'll pull the white out and just make a gray scarf. The other skein is black and pink so I'll be on the lookout when I start that one. I do love the gradation and I don't notice it while knitting but it sure shows when I hold it out to admire.

You are going to be happy with the gray socks. They are off to a good start.
The baby hat is darling with the garter ridges and colored stripes. The yarn behaved perfectly.
I love your knit projects; cute hat. You are wise to start both of those socks together. I have 3 singles waiting for mates. It was 97 degrees here yesterday, and I started knitting a scarf. I like my yarn projects as much as my quilting ones. Wish we didn't have to sleep.
The rainbow hat is just TOOOOOO CUTE!! I love the gray socks, too. I'm also just starting my July socks. They are coming along, if I can remember to drink my afternoon coffee so I can stay up later knitting.
