The only part that could be described as ‘design’ on this hat is the brim. I did a K3 P1 K1 P3 rib, to make it a little bit different. The rest of it is simple stockinette.I found a lot of this yarn (that I also have in green and rainbow colors) at a thrift…
Category: life lately
Three, random
1. I realized that for me it doesn’t feel like a real summer when I haven’t planted any red geraniums. So I took care of that yesterday. I can safely state these are my favorite flowers (followed closely by marigolds). 2. Summer fruits are special to me too. I used to buy (and eat) lots…
I'll be right here *
*title of this post stolen from Soulemama Yesterday I went on an epic thrift store search.I was in need of a better chair. The one I had was fun to look at, but I got back aches from sitting in it too long. And since we’ve stored our desks and office chairs away while we’re…
52 hats :: 24 – happy spiral
I like this one, though I’d never wear it myself, at least not in these colors. I did love knitting with those bright colors though. The spiral was fun to knit and I may do that again in a different color. Linking up with Frontier Dreams’ Crafting On
52 hats :: 23 – scrap busting
Not very creative, just working my way through scraps (leftovers from the mystery shawl). Thanks for sticking with me and my boring posts while I try to catch up with the 52 hat challenge. I’m still behind on both posting and knitting, so I have at least a week of these to go. But I…
52 hats :: 22 – giving up on cables
I guess the title says it all. I was going to do cables, but we were on Curaçao when I was knitting this one and the acrylic yarn was no fun in the heat. So I decided to give up on the cables and finish in stockinette. I was also a bit too eager to…
Three things I'm working on right now
1. Cleaning and organizing. After all the traveling and the scary times in between, I’m finally trying to get a grip on my household tasks. Ahem… I had things under control back in October, but fell off the bandwagon during the holidays in December and never really got back to it. Add trying to finish…
52 hats :: 21 – hospital green
I started this hat in the waiting room when my husband was going through some examinations for his heart, back in May. It’s just a simple 2×2 rib with a stockinette top, but that was all I could handle at that point. Life has been scary and unclear for a while (since the end of…
52 hats :: 20 – Soulemama's favorite (again)
I’ve said it before, I really, really like this pattern. Every time I’m really out of ideas about what type of hat to knit, I’m tempted to cast on one of these. I’m trying to keep myself back a bit, but two out of twenty is not too much, I think. Linking up with Frontier…
52 hats :: 19 – more stripes in pastel
I’m starting to think that knitting these was a lot more fun than blogging about them… Anyway. More stripes. A really slouchy slouch this time, since I was still trying to finish my scraps 😉
