Pattern: Leaves Bas-Relief
Yarn: Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sport in Envy
Notes: The lace on the hat keeps the project interesting, and the round stockinette knits up quickly.
Pattern: Spring Fling from Knitty
Yarn: Rowan Wool/Cotton Color 944
Notes: Great, easy pattern. I would suggest making it about two sizes smaller than you think you need. Be prepared for some mind-numbing ribbing.
Yarn: Noro Kureyon
Notes: A hat that works perfectly with Noro's color changes. Nothing beats watching the colors zig-zag.
Pattern: Traveling Vine Lace from Knit Scarves
Yarn: Knit Picks Shadow in Grape
Notes: A scarf perfect for a first lace project. But, er, watch the yarn-overs.
Pattern: Super Simple Stripey Short (row) Socks
Yarn: Knit Picks Essentials in ash and dusk
Notes: Lovely, easy short rows. You are so much better than heel flaps.
Pattern: Simply Stockinette from Knit Socks
Yarn: Debbie Bliss Cashmere
Notes: My first socks. Stockinette is not the best choice. They may be different lengths.
Pattern: Cable Twist Socks
Yarn: Pattons Classic Merino Wool
Notes: Great for sock and cable-lovers. Very easy and fun
