Hmm, apparently in all the craziness that has been going on around Casa Sarah, I have forgotten all about that aspect of this blog as well.\u00a0 There really hasn’t been as much knitting going on as there usually is, but I have gotten a couple of projects done.\u00a0 The first project of 2011 was a Lotus Leaf Scarf<\/a> that I made to donate to a raffle for the Pussyfooters<\/a>, a women’s dancing\/marching group in New Orleans.\u00a0 The raffle was part of the Pussyfooter’s Blush Ball which was raising money to support Metro<\/a>, a local organization that supports battered women and their families.\u00a0 My dear friend, Kate S, is a P’footer and within minutes of her asking me for a donation, I had cast on this project!\u00a0 It’s a quick and easy knit and suits the P’footer mentality of being “pink and fabulous”!\u00a0 I used Karabella Piuma Gold yarn.\u00a0 I love the silver sparkles!\u00a0 This is the third one of these that I have made and I still enjoy it every bit as much.<\/p>\n

Pussyfooter’s Lotus Scarf<\/p>\n

Cast on: January 15<\/p>\n

Cast off: January 16<\/p>\n

Yarn: Karabella Piuma Gold<\/p>\n

My next project was part of a knit-along sponsored by Miss Babs.\u00a0 I absolutely love her yarn and have quite a bit of it that I’ve stockpiled after my trips to the Market at Stitches South.\u00a0 Plus, I really enjoy Miss Babs herself.\u00a0 I got to have dinner with her and her assistant, Jennifer, at SS last year and they are a hoot.\u00a0 Babs has a very dry wit that I really enjoy and if I’m going to buy premium yarn, I would rather it from someone I like!<\/p>\n

Vent d’est vent d’ouest Cowl<\/a><\/p>\n

Cast on: January 29<\/p>\n

Cast off:\u00a0 January 31<\/p>\n

Yarn:\u00a0 Miss Babs Yummy 2-ply in Woodland Viola<\/p>\n

Notes:\u00a0 I loved this pattern so much that I immediately cast on another one!\u00a0 An added bonus? I was the first-to-finish in this KAL and won myself a skein of Miss Babs Yummy 2-ply in Cleopatra!<\/p>\n

While I was working on my second cowl, I was also participating in another knit-along.\u00a0 This one was sponsored by Knitter’s Brewing Company and was a mystery sock pattern.\u00a0 It was pretty interesting working on a sock pattern that I had no idea what the end result would be and that I only got a small part of the pattern each week.\u00a0 I really love the resulting socks, but realized after a short time working on this project that I should’ve used this yarn for a project for Kate S, since both of them are pink and fabulous!\u00a0<\/p>\n

Knitter’s Brewing Company Mystery Sock #3 – Family Jewels<\/a><\/p>\n

Cast on:\u00a0 January 16<\/p>\n

Cast off:\u00a0 February 17<\/p>\n

Yarn:\u00a0 Zen Yarn Garden Bling<\/p>\n

And the last project that I have completed so far this year is another Vent d’est, Vent d’ouest cowl.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0 \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

VEVO Revisited<\/p>\n

Cast on:\u00a0 February 2<\/p>\n

Cast off:\u00a0 February 19<\/p>\n

Yarn:\u00a0 Lisa Souza BFL in South Pacific<\/p>\n

Notes:\u00a0 While I still really enjoyed working the lace pattern of the VEVO scarf, I didn’t enjoy this yarn as much.\u00a0 It’s thinner than the Miss Babs Yummy that I originally used and I don’t feel like it shows off the pattern as well.\u00a0 The color is beautiful, though!<\/p>\n

So, there are my projects thusfar this year.\u00a0 I have a new project on my needles, well actually it’s on my hook!\u00a0 I’m crocheting a baby blanket for a dear friend, so I’ll try and get some pictures up soon!<\/p>\n

And, since you’ve bourne with my terrible pictures throughout this post, here’s a picture of one of my finest “finished projects” just to make you smile.\u00a0<\/p>\n
