And a hat made from Green Mountain Spinnery mountain mohair (with a stripe of random Lion Brand yarn for variety) for my dad:
I made my mom a feather-and-fan scarf out of Koigu Kersti but I forgot to take pictures of that one. Yes, I'm really on top of things, aren't I? =P
And the first project of 2005, Charlotte's web. I spent some time rearranging the skeins, but I think this is the order of colours I'm going to use. I'm not 100% sure yet though:
As for 2005 knitting resolutions, I really think I need to enforce a yarn budget. I don't even want to calculate how much money I dropped on yarn in 2004. I also need to get a better system for cataloguing projects. And, the stash needs to be depleted some before buying new stuff. For now, I'll say no new yarn until Charlotte is done, except for some cashmere I need for a gift. More on all this later.

Ooohh...pretty scarf. Yes, you are somewhat obsessed with pink these days. And don't worry about not taking photos. I didn't remember to take any photos of those 'mystery' items I was posting before. And the hat you made makes me think 'Dad colours' too ^__^ It's very nice. Is he okay with the mohair? I think my dad would find it too itchy.
The colour order for your Charlotte's Web, is that from the top down? The colours you picked are so nice, I think whatever way you ordered them would look good.
My dad seems ok with the mohair, I think the yarn is 70% wool, 30% mohair. At least, he didn't complain about the scratchiness to my face or anything. =)
Yes, the Charlotte order is from the top down. The bottom 2 colourways are my favourite, and I wanted to feature them more prominently in the shawl, so they will be used the most. I started knitting with the blue last night, I have a teeny tiny triangle right now. =)
