FO Fest
I hereby present my backlog of finished projects that I have been too overwhelmed by grad school badness to post of late:
First off, I finished the Fetchings that were my emergency Thanksgiving project:
please pardon the craptacular lab lighting. Though it is apropos as they live in the always-freezing microscope room, wherein I spend altogether too much time.
Next up, my sister requested a hat for Hanukkah. Two days before the holiday ended. Ahem. She got it mid-January, which I find to be a perfectly acceptable time frame.
Pattern can be found here. Really easy and pretty fast to knit.
I also finished my first sweater. Which technically is my fourth sweater, but the first I actually managed to finish. Thanks to Gerald for taking the picture, that's the D floor conference room across the hall from lab and our closest source of actual natural light.
Having liked cabling my sister's hat so much, I made a cabled hat for me. Somehow all of the hats I had made in the past were not black. Astonishing! So I made one:
It's from SNBN and was really easy.
Finally, I also finished a pair of socks:
They're the Falling Leavessocks from Knitty awhile ago. The best part of having wee size 5 1/2 feet is that it only took one ball of Lorna's Laces to make actual socks!
Knitting makes me so much happier than lab. Obviously.

Love the sweater. Totally jealous over the fact you can get socks out of one skein!
Your socks are very pretty!! I have yet to try toe up socks. This one might be a good one for me to try the toe up technique. Thanks for the pattern link.
happy knitting :)
