Yellow Lillies??

Another new lily color has emerged, and these flowers look very different from all the others; in terms of shapes, they more closely resemble roses:


I've been knitting on a bunch of things, but don't have any finished objects to report today, aside from the latest pair of mitts:


These are made with the dwindling supply of specially-dyed Huntington from Neuro.  I have enough for one more pair, perhaps two if I Franken-yarn them together.

July Hat is in the decreasing phase (where I have to change to double pointed needles and it gets all fiddly, ugh).  Even though I have it in mind to make it a man's hat, it still seems feminine to me.  I'll have to see if the finishing and blocking process puts any hair on its chest!!

These are  Crazy For You socks.  They haven't told me yet exactly whom they are crazy for , but I'll let them ponder that for a while.  It appears I may have caught a bit of Knitting New England's Tangerine Tango  with all of these orangey colors!
