More catching up! On with the FO’s!
Hats:
Lots of stash yarn used here. From top to bottom: Kurbis baby hat, pumpkinized for K’s Halloween costume. Shorty Bucket Hat made for the elementary school holiday raffle. Lilly- for a friend’s new grandbaby. It was her coming home hat. What an honor! The Wee Baby Hat from Swiss Army Librarian for another new baby. My own ear wrap pattern, based on a magazine picture. Easy in bulky yarn- warm and toasty! And more baby hats- Rib-Knit Baby Hat, the Striped Hat (from the set in Zoe Mellor’s Adorable Knits for Tots), and Mr. Bassil’s Hat (from the hat and blanket set). I love to give hats as gifts. They are quick, easy to use, necessary for wee ones and there are so many wonderful choices out there!
Scarves:
Again from the top: Wavy Lace Capelet from Interweave Knits using a thick-n-thin yarn found on sale at the LYS. Two Kindergarten Kits– neckwarmers for the kids. I used a button and split neck on the second. I think I like the turtleneck better, overall. These are VERY handy to keep little necks cozy! A Drop Stitch Scarf found on Ravelry. Easy and pretty using Jojoland Rhythm Superwash. Loved the color on the ball- not so good knitted up, unfortunately. I might enjoy it more in a stockinette rather than a lace pattern. Finally, the Fresco Basket Whip Cowl from Classic Elite. So pretty. I used some Heilo from Dalegarn. I thought it was a little scratchy for a cowl, but the recipient seemed to like it.
Watch for Installment 3…
