From afghans for Afghans knit-and crochet-along

Here are a couple I just finished for afghans for Afghans. They're made with some lovely bulky alpaca/wool yarn donated to the group for baby blankets. I made these from leftover skeins. They aren't washed and blocked yet, but it felt so good to get them done I thought I'd post them anyway.

Hope the rest of you are knitting along happily, if quietly.

Catching Up

2008-02-04T08:42:00.000-07:00

So it wasn't until I commented on the previous post that Sarah was not alone on this blog it was just that I hadn't knitted a hat in a while...that I realized I was fibbing...I've knit two and never got around to posting is all...

Here's Andy's New Hat:
Yes, that would be sock yarn on size #2 needles...I tend to go small with skul caps...
I used Ken's version of a roll-brim "half-dome" (on Knitty I think...)

And then, there is Andy's New Snowboarding Hat:
He has actually used it every time he's gone snowboarding this season...so for $9.00, I'm happy it is useful...I used Vanna's Choice yarns from JoAnn when they were on super sale for less than $3.00 a ball. I did have to buy the US 11 bamboo needles I used (yarn was held double)...so I guess it's a little more than $9.00. It's my version of the Jayne (Cobb) Hat made so popular by "Firefly."

And that would be it...if I'm fibbing again it's only due to short-term-knitting memory loss...

Two more...

2008-02-03T22:31:00.001-07:00

Am I the only one posting here??

Christmas Hats

2008-01-04T14:42:00.000-07:00

Ok. Another 2 Hat Tricks Please? (I'll do it, Jane!)

This one was for my niece - it's Coronet from Knitty

Then the green bulky WOTA from Knitpicks was for my sister, and the gray Lion Thick & Quick for my son-in-law...

And another WOTA Bulky for my nephew-in-law. This one is colorway Fly Fishing and he loves to do that, so it was special. Not to mention he agreed it was somewhat camoflage and he hunts, too. A good choice all around. The last three were my variation on this Seaman's Cap pattern that is just wonderful to knit. I tend to use whatever I have on hand for yarn and adjust my needles accordingly. Sometimes I do as she says and change from smaller to larger needles after the ribbing, and sometimes I don't.

OH...and then there's this one
This is a variation on
Norma's pattern here. I cast on 40 and just knit, then decreased and tied it off. I needed something special at the last minute for the third grandson, who's 15 months old. This worked.

I have one more on the needles - another from Needle Beedle. I'll post a photo soon - maybe even tonight!

edited to add:What do you know? I did it!
(((Hugs)))

Three Odessa Hats

2007-10-13T15:04:00.002-06:00

Hello everyone! It has been a long time since I've posted here, but lookee I made another hat trick! These are three Odessa hats. The top hat is made with Lana Grossa Toccata, the middle hat is made with RYC Cashsoft DK, and the bottom is made with RYC Cashcotton DK. I gave away the top two to friends and chose to keep the green hat for myself! :)

If you'd like to read more, my blog is here.

Happy Knitting, everyone! Here's to warm heads!

Four new hats

2007-10-03T13:19:00.000-06:00

These are a few of the hat & scarf sets I've been making for the homeless veterans' shelter in Detroit. Back in August, on my blog, I mentioned the generous donation of the large cones of machine knitting yarn to our group. I've finished almost 30 sets in all but these four give a good example of the way that the yarns can combine to make very distinct sets. I'm working with three or four strands at a time and using a size 13 circular for the hat and a size P hook for the matching crocheted scarves.

Finally, a post here!

2007-09-30T15:15:00.001-06:00

I joined y'all a while back, but have just never remember to post some of my hats... I finally have gathered pics up to at least earn my first hat trick! :-)

There are actually several others completed, just not photographed... and before long, I'll have even more completed.. there's a bunch on my christmas knits list!

Blythe happy ^^

2007-09-13T01:30:00.000-06:00

It's been a while since my last hat.. so here I present you my last one, for my blythe doll Raquel. She loves it :P

One shy of 4 hat tricks

2007-08-05T18:01:00.000-06:00

I got a lot of knitting done while staying at the hospital with my Mother.

I'll have to finish and post a 12th hat before claiming my 4th hat trick for this set.

flowered yet cute

2007-07-19T22:07:00.000-06:00

I'm not sure if these would count as a hat or not but they do go on your head lol

Nautilus Hat:

2007-07-15T15:45:00.000-06:00

I do love knitting hats. For me the perfect combination is size 7 circulars and some Lamb's Pride worsted.

Here's my newest, which is adorable and easy:

See my blog post about the hat here for more details and a link to the pattern:

Hat Trick Times Two

Green Cable Fun

2007-06-26T10:47:00.000-06:00

I finished this one last month and had failed to take a picture.

I gave it to a redheaded friend. I thought the hair/yarn color combination would be good.

Here's more details about the hat: http://spinningninny.blogspot.com/2007/05/green-cabled-hat.html

Three hats in stash leftovers made from the basic roll-brim, fun fur chemo cap pattern - in Wool-Ease and various Fun Furs and Boa yarns...All knit for our September day-long charity Knit-in, NoSo Knit. (A charity item is the admission fee!)
I believe I've finally earned another Hat Trick, huh, Jane? (My one was soo lonely!) *wink*

2007-06-18T11:11:00.000-06:00

You know what, I forgot I was even a part of this Group! Boy do I have hats to show you!

Wow. 12 hats and 4 baby hats in one post. If you can't tell, hats are my favorite thing to knit. They are fast and I actually wear them. I knit a lot of hats for my dad, because that's the only Hand-knit thing he'll wear. He doesn't want socks or anything, but he gets a hat for his birthday and Christmas every year!

Just Swell.

2007-06-11T08:21:00.000-06:00

I've spent the last month knitting and frogging several different hats in a blue and yellow color combination while trying to find something cool for my rugby teammate Jocelyn.

I settled on Swell from knitty.

I finished her this weekend:
