Neopolitan Hat

The light doesn't do this magnificent hat justice, but I love it! I am also probably keeping it. And knitting a scarf to go with it. Started the brim with a 'moss stitch'- or my interpretation of one. I didn't do a rib stitch at all and I love the way it hugs onto your head without the structure of ribbing. I have made many many hats this way, then added ear flaps, but this one, I just thought, I can't do that to you, you pretty, pretty hat. I am going to wear your ice cream colors as is. So the scarf is going to be a 'moss stitch' too. All that is it, k-p-k-p-k-p and then the next row p-k-p-k-p-k- on and on and on. In the three colors. I am sure I will go crazy at some time, but I am in the mood for a not too much thought pattern. Of course I really need to be getting in gear with K's baby gift, but I have til August...I think...

Lace Hat

I knit a lace hat in sparkly pink and purple. I love it and can't wait til it's not 100 degrees out so I can wear it. It snowed up in WY this weekend. That is where all menopausal sweat box ladies should be. I am gearing up for a baby gift for one of my dearest friends at work Kamisha, who is due in a couple months. I need to find pink, blue and teal to go together...but I don't know if I should try a blanket...ugh. I am so very BAD at blankets. I'm not much good at hats for babies, either! I probably should wait to post until I am feeling accomplished and awesome instead of the way I do now!

WHAT?

I haven't been knitting the last few days. OMG! I suppose it's because the last project I worked on met with a disaster in my purse...makeup I almost never carry somehow got smeared on it. INFAMY! And then...I just don't seem to have any ideas for an interesting project. I don't know. I love knitting and I am going to have to get another project underway at once.

Still At IT!

I was making a baby hat and scarf for a friend and damned if I didn't make the hat too little. Poop. It seems lately I have been making more and more decisions to use tiny balls of yarn and I'm worried about running out of this one, one of a kind color I will NEVER find again...so far. Like I need any more excitement. I've been massively preoccupied with my mom (but that's a whole nother blog) and general trying to hold it togetherness. I mean, I am really having a hard time. It's ridiculous. I wont get into it, that's for another blog too. So suffice it to say, I would be a lot happier if I were knitting more! Not sure what to knit next. I love hats. I really do. I posted dozens of them on my facebook page! I wish I could wear them all! So obviously I will knit more and more of them. Going to come up with a summer hat idea. Maybe visor? I think I could do it.......

A HAT!

Amazing that I love those damn hats so much. I took pics of them and put 'em on Facebook- like I needed any proof for my friends and co-workers to know I was a nutcase. I enjoyed making them and I love wearing them. That's why summer sucks!

Crochet

I suck at crochet- and I've tried it. It's ridiculous that I can't get it. I was so disgusted the last time I tried that I went right back to hats. I am working on a hat for Ruby's grand daughter. I also decided I was going to get pictured of everything I made before giving it away...then my webcam went to crap so I am delayed until I purchase a new webcam. Frankly, that old webcam was crappy anyway- the only thing that disappointed me in my new laptop. Whatever, I am keeping up my knitting, and looking longingly at the crochet work of my friends. They make it look so easy!

Dr. Who

ALMOST done with the 4th and final Who inspired scarf. I got about a foot left. Then all the fringe and tying off. Maybe next week I will finish. Started a few projects for Ruby's granddaughters using the yarn she brought. I'm just going to free-ball it and see what happens. I love the funky ear flap hats, and the one I am making now is moss-stitch on the brim and flaps, which looks really nice. I love knitting! I had PLANNED on making a slideshow of my various hats- just the ones for my personal use- but something went wrong with my webcam...but, that webcam looked so grainy and awful anyway, maybe it's just as well. I can do it with a regular camera, I am sure. I need to get a real phone. That'll never happen if Bug has his way. Jerk. Oh well. We will need it for GPS or something, and not have it, and he will say, why don't you get one of them fancy phones! I hope!
