Naughty Knit

I finished the hat and added a pompom – i think it’s cute. it would be perfect for all those up north getting the feet upon feet of snow.

I finished the baby hat but i feel like it needs a little bit of work. i was going to put pom-poms on the corners but i decided i wanted to make it look like kitty ears instead. once i finish it up i’ll post a pic of her in it.

For now let me leave you with this… i had baby girl on the bed with me while i was knitting and she was fussing up a storm.  so i let her hold the yarn and she was happy and yappy after that. Looks like i know what her first hobby might be.

So i meant to post about this yesterday. I saw a hat over at knitty.com and even though it’s fair aisle it was a pretty simple pattern. So i was going to attempt it, but then i had in my hand this yarn that i really like and i wanted to use it to make a hat instead. So i thought, since the pattern called for two strands of yarn to be held together through out the work, the chunky yarn i had was at most just a little bigger than two strands of ww yarn so i figured i’d use the needles and number of stitches. Here are it is near the begining and when it was almost finished…

well let me tell you… it’s a little big. But i have a big head to begin with so a hat thats big on my big head would eat up the head of someone else. it is literally sitting on my head without any stretch. haha so it just seems so huge. Do you think if i took some black elastic cording and weaved it through the ribbing to pull it a little snugger it would solve my problem? maybe make it a little more like a rasta or something? we’ll see… here is a pic of my and one of mom lol (fyi this hat makes mom look like a COMEPLETLY different person lol)

So i came across a pattern not to long ago for arm warmers with cables on them. At the time i printed out the pattern so i could write on it and now i can’t find it. If i do i’ll link it. I was afraid they would be to wide but cables pull in, which is something i didn’t know until the other day. I thought it was just me haha.

so here is my progress so far, i’m about halfway through the first one. i like how it’s coming along, though i’m still a little slow with my rhythm (is that even spelled right?)

I’ll keep you updated on this one. the next time i do an arm warmer or fingerless glove i’ll take on a longer version. i actually have my eye on a pattern already.
