February and March FOs

I've not put up any pictures of my finished objects from February and March, mainly as most were birthday presents for Wellbread and I didn't want her seeing them, but now I'm free to give a round up of the last two months knitted output .

My project based on the Dublin Knit Collective's
Valentine knit-a-long, details of pattern and wool here

Socks for Wellbread
yarn from Lidl and the pattern is Monkey Socks.

Also a hat, to make sure her extreamities are toasty warm.
The wool is called Brazil, found in a charity shop, the pattern is here.

The pattern describes the hat as being 'slouch beret-style', which I'm not quite sure is how I would describe it. I cast on more stitches that suggested in the pattern, and knitted an extract pattern repeat, and it still turned out fairly closer fitting, but it is a very pretty hat anyway.

And just to show I am not entirly an alturistic knitter, I made a top for me.
Also using lidl wool, and another free pattern.

I changed the pattern to knit the top in the round, which I thought would be better for the variagated yarn. I'm really pleased with the way the pattern from the yarn worked out, especially where the sleeves join into the body. Plus I have some wool left over from this top and the socks to go towards the blanket, which is still progressing ... slowly.
