From Susan — When Sock Monkeys Mate

If this:

…had a baby with this…

…I think you would end up with this:

The Sock Monkey Marsan Hat!!  I can’t take credit for this idea — it all goes to cutoutwitch on Ravelry.  I thought it was cute and I had the yarn — very old Lopi in stash; the red is Lamb’s Pride Bulky.  But, I only had one skein of the brown and could have used more.  Oh well.  I am just going to wear this for walking the dog.  I may even add a pom pon for fun!!

And this is the Boo Hat in a more serious pose.  It is another Marsan for my nephew, and I really like how it turned out.  Once blocked, it was plenty big.  Even fits my large melon.  Whew.

And one more small FO from this weekend — finished it up as I watched the Vikes beat the Packers yet again 😉

It’s a Scraper Mitt for my Viking-obsessed bro — just a small Christmas gift. 

So, I think it is becoming obvious even to me…I am suffering from a huge case of “large project avoidance.”  It’s fun for a while and you actually end up with some small FOs, but c’mon — a Vikings Scraper Mitt???  I’m not even a Vikings fan — well, maybe a little bit of a fair weather one, but that’s another story!I

I think I may be the one who is going to need a scraper soon, because in the not-too-distant future I see me scraping the bottom of the knitting barrel!  I told someone recently that I have enough projects in queue to last a year.  But at this rate, make it a decade!!  I will start something this week, I promise [Susan vows hopefully to self!].
