Gift Knitting

Elizabeth is knitting matching hats from her grandson and his best friend. How sweet is that?! The yarn is Ella Rae Amity Heather.
Check out this footie sock that Elizabeth is knitting in Socks that Rock light weight yarn. The colorway is Green Eyed Monster.
Michelle test knit a new pattern I'm writing for an Infinity Wrap. She knit it with 2 skeins of Lana Grossa Fumato yarn. I'm in the process of writing it for several gauges. The Fumato held single made for a very drapey light wrap.
Janine is knitting this scarf as a gift (for a man) in Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran. When she came to Westport Yarns for the yarn, I suggested K2P2 as a classic man's scarf. She found confirmation on ehow.com that yes, k2p2 ribbing is appropriately masculine.
Linda A. is making pillows for holiday gifts. This pattern she's improvising herself; she's knitting it in Reynolds (cotton) Ole. The pillow case will be like an envelope.
Lois was working on making her color blocks come out even on her Giant Infinity Cabled Cowl by Dina Mor; she's knitting it in Aslan Royal Alpaca.

Linda stopped by to pick up more black yarn for the borders of her Kimono. She's done the knitting math and it takes her 21 minutes to complete one row. She's done about 4" and needs 7". I meant to ask her how many rows are in an inch....
