Pollywog's Log of Life

So I finally  finished the sweater I was working on. It only took me 10 weeks! Unfortunately for my blog (and you readers) I am pretty terrible with remembering to take pictures especially ones that look good and web/blog worthy. Plus, I haven't blocked the sweater yet, so although it's completed, it's not quite at it's final stage. Several weeks ago I got a package from my aunt who is an avid knitter.

I'm curious who else I know is a part of  Ravelry ....? I don't know too many other people who knit, only that there are lots of us out there. My username on there is theladyhat  and I'm part of some groups but I know there are tons out there. Here's some of the most recent stuff I've knitted: For my sis slouchy hat warm socks for my mom The socks are my second pair and although I love them, they take forever to make. So for now I'm working on smaller things that don't take so long and I get a little more instant gratification.
