Norwegian Knits-Along: Week 3

Remember these baby socks? Well, little miss Poppy can finally wear them! She was born last week and proud Papa emailed me some gorgeous shots of her wearing *my* socks!

So how much knitting will be done by the end of this holiday weekend? There may be lots, if you're intent on finishing a particular section of a pattern. There may be barely any, if you're entertaining and life gets in the way. Happy knitting and have a safe and sound Thanksgiving!

Sweaters
◊ Jenifleur has s progress pic of Norma's scalloped edging. I'm falling in love with Norma more and more. I definitely have her on my knit list!
◊ Rebekkah is still working faithfully on her Fair Isle vest. She's particularly proud of buttonholes!
◊ Sydney's finished Danger's body. Meanwhile, her Ingeborg yarn has arrived. Such pretty colors! Who else thinks she's already swatched for it?
◊ Brave Julia has finished weaving in all the ends of her vest! She's also got one shoulder seam all done.

Socks
◊ Meow Girl of Knit Buddies is making Norwegian stockings for the knitalong. Go see her lovely stranding. She uses the 2-yarn-in-the-left-hand technique, like Jess.
◊ Liz of The Purling Prude will be making--get ready for it--Norwegian stockings! (I'm curious now.) She's told me she's a May 3rd baby, just like me!
◊ Jessica is a third of the way on her heel flap. Everything looks good so far!
◊ Jess has finished the calf portion of her stocking but may frog it due to tension and sizing issues.

Mittens
◊ Veronique of Tres Chic Veronique will be making the Vinternatt mittens from Nordic Fiber Arts in black and purple. She wrote about knitting the lining to the mitten (a tip courtesy of Marnie), which is a great idea. Lastly, Veronique is a May 3rd baby. A third May 3rd baby. So very cool.
◊ Katie of Purl One Drop Two just received her Frostrosen mittens from Nordic Fiber Arts. She's also experimented with stranding versus weaving here and here.
◊ Carie had to rip back to the cuff, but she's back on track now. If you're knitting Selbu, there are pattern errors that are discussed here.
◊ Terri's posted on a little pair of purple mittens. Aren't they great?
◊ Paula has had a few starts on her mittens, but she thinks this fourth time will be the last!
◊ Beth, the undiscipline one :-) has received her Nordasnomittens kit in cheery red and white. Can't wait to see her progress!
◊ Wendy has resumed knitting on her Frostrosen mittens now that she's finished her lovely Hanne Falkenberg Mermaid. She's already finished the left and is closing in on the right! That Wendy. She knits. Fast!

Hats
◊ Adrian has finished her hat! Why yes she did. She tossed it in the dryer to shrink it (good to know) and it fits her husband perfectly. Go take a look!
◊ Jenny has finished her reindeer hat! But no pictures *yet*; you'll have to wait until December 26!
◊ Sarah's nephew volunteered to model the first of her Norwegian star hats. What a cutie!
◊ Michelle has finished knitting the cotton lining of her Reindeer hat; now comes the good stuff: the woolen!
◊ Your host has been knitting furiously on Traditional, despite the fact that her (fricking) cold got a second wind. (And I missed a get-together as well, dammit!)

I realized my niece's birthday is this Friday so I've been knitting furiously on it! The "lice" should be quick and easy. All it needs after that is the sewing of the lining, a good soak to get rid of the germies, and a toss in the dryer. Wish me luck!
