3 hats

11.12.08 / Danielle / 0 Comments

These 3 hats i knitted for my step-nephews. The pattern is sooo easy….just K2, P2 the whole way until the last 2 rows and then i K2tog for those 2 rows, pull in the top and sew up the edge. Voila! A hat! I got the pattern from groovy-mom.com. Thanks Groovy Mom!

The other picture is of me and Little Boo wearing the hats…well, he’s wearing the green one meant for one of my nephews, and i’m wearing the one i made for my older sister. Hers is actually my favorite and i really need to get these hats in the mail before i decide to keep them all! (My husband is hatless, as you can see, because i am so busy knitting things for other people that i neglect us!)

Taylor’s scarf

Here is a scarf i recently finished for my niece…it’s called a Mogul scarf…i found the pattern online for this too. Because of the way it’s knitted, on one side the white shows and on the other side the rainbow color shows….but when stretched, it looks like stripes! That’s my Little Boo modelling it for me. He didn’t want to take it off and ran around the house wearing it like a cape.

I’m so new to this blog thing that i’ve spent most of the morning trying to figure out how to get the pictures lined up the way i want them….and it’s not working! i think i need help.

I got a flu shot today at work and now my arm is KILLING me! And I think the vaccine is affecting my brain too. Maybe i could figure this out if i didn’t have dormant influenza running through my veins!

It’s a start!

I knit! I LOVE it! I could spend entire days curled up with my sticks and yarn….ahhhh…i can see it now….but i am a mom and a wife and work full time so that little daydream will never happen! Here’s some knitting pics:

See this? It looks like a plain ole striped scarf but it’s MAGIC!

When you look at it from an angle, it’s got a hidden pattern!! (Snowflakes). i found this pattern online…it’s super-easy, just knitting and purling.
