Simple 2 x 2 rib scarf using one skein of Malabrigio and size 9 needles. So soft. So yummy. Nice and long for the winter wrapping.
What? You want MORE Gator Nation knitting? OK, you asked for it.
Yet another Gator baby hat in Cotton Ease. 60 stitches, knit in the round, With the reductions done in the K1, K2tog pattern all the way round all of the last or 6 rows, or until there are few enough stitches to bind off. This time I opted for a pompom rather than a tassle. Sadly, I do not yet have pictures of this particular recipient, but maybe now that there's a hat to show off.......
Apparently all of Rick's college buddies are determined to get started making thier own football team because we now have had 3 baby gators this year, and there are 4 more 'in the works' as I type. Anybody know of a good pattern for an alligator stuffed animal? I suspect knitting these hats is going to start to wear thin pretty soon with so many to do.
How about some cuteness?
Nice scarf for the hubbo.

No alligator, but I have some of that orange and blue Cotton Ease that I'll probably never use. Want it?
And ... should you two ever have children, I'm guessing they'll have red hair. Ya think?

Cuteness is the DH wrapped incognito in a pretty scarf. How much length/width did you get out of one skein?

Oh - I have one! I just pulled it out of an old magazine. I'll scan it on Monday and send it to you...

Dragon, but I think the gator mods ought to be simple, yes?

Also, shirt size? For no particular reason? Whistling casually......

I didn't know -- until now -- that there was a Malabrigo gater colorway.

I had a question for you about the reversible cable scarf you made. Do you have the pattern for it? That scarf is exactly what I'm looking to make, but I can't find the pattern anywhere. My email is theknittingdeity@gmail.com. Thanks!

Morehouse Farm has an alligator scarf kit. I ordered it, but instead of using their yarn I used Brown Sheep's regular wool --- in orange and blue! Gave it to a dear friend who is a rabid Gator fan and she loves it (as does her husband ... and the kids!!!). It was loads of fun to knit. http://www.morehousefarm.com/KnittingKits/Scarves/Alligator/
