(Almost always my favorite is the current one) Right now it's my first ever pair of socks. If I had to chose from completed projects I would be hard pressed...there is the EZ's Baby Surprise Jacket I made for my niece, the gloves I made for myself, and all the crochet little toys I made for my kids. Then there is my latest passion, spinning. Fun! Happy birthday to you! My favorite knit object is the one I’m working on right now!

The pattern was brillant, the fancy work cute for a little one and I love the outcome.

I knit it years ago. It was my first sweater. Remember the Bernat sweater made out of Gloucester (cotton)? It had a scallop shell on the front of it. I made it out of medium blue gloucester. I still have it and wear it occasionally. The runner up is an irish sweater my great-aunt made out of wool we got from Ireland. She knit it in about 1970.

Pictures are here: http://hitherandyarn.wordpress.com/2007/11/09/friday-eye-candy-2/ (with more pictures on the preceding and following day, and here and there) It was the first big lace project I ever finished and the first really original design project I ever did. And it turned out just as I had hoped. Maybe it was the forty hours I knitted in the last week that did it.... Now to write up the pattern, the way people keep asking me to! In all that spare time I have, right. No question about my favorite knitted thing;
