Current knit
Progress photo from the hat I recently knitted. This was the first time I've kitted a pattern with two colors. The pattern is from the book Hat Heads by flickr user knitkid. It was a lot of fun and I will be shopping for more yarn this week. :)

What I've been knitting...
Here are a few photos from my recent knitting obsession. I've been knitting the egg and bird with nest from Susan B. Anderson's book "Itty Bitty Toys". It felt so great to get into knitting from a pattern that I made about 10 of these over the last few months. It's been really fun and I'm almost to the point where I can knit the whole thing without consulting the pattern any longer. It's a fun pattern, I would recommend it if you don't mind knitting small things - it can be tough on the fingers at times. The patterns are easy to follow and surprising in the results. She really takes the time to make sure each part is very well done. I especially like how the stitches in the wings lean toward the middle as it tapers to the end - makes it look really perfect. Here is a link to Susan's blog where she often posts free knitting patterns.
