It's funny, I'm still working from home, and I'm getting done what I need to to, but I feel scattered and not all that productive. On the other hand, my knitting productivity is out of control!
I started the weekend with a pair of Elizabeth Zimmerman May Mitered Mittens for my mother. They are much more loosely knit than I would have done gloves, but we live in Melbourne, not Antarctica, so they should be enough.
This was a really fun pattern, and I see more of these in my future.
Then on Monday I made a Woolly Wormhead Classic Beanie for Kieran.
On Tuesday I made a bigger version of the same hat for Raph:
I love them. Quick, fun (look at the crown) and very classic. I made them in Bendigo Woollen Mills Luxury, and it reminded me of what a lovely (and economical) yarn this is.
On Wednesday I diverted from hats to make a teeny weeny hot water bottle cover.
You may remember last year I tried to order mini hot water bottles and ended up with teeny ones? At the tiny I used Kate Davies Tottie Hottie pattern and worked out the numbers for the tiny bottle, but didn't knit it. As it has suddenly become wintery around here, I thought a hand sized bottle would be useful. I used some of the flower charts from Birkin , I am completely taken with that leaf chart, and it came out very well indeed.
Then on Thursday I cast on another Woolly Wormhead hat, the Armley Beanie. Knitting in my own hand dyed yarn is so satisfying.
I did not finish it until Friday!
I have two more things to knit in this mad dash of small projects, and then I'm on to a jumper for Leon.

LOVE the crown on that beanie! Actually, all your projects look great!
