Malabrigo Head Thingie… Finished!



07-31-2009 053, originally uploaded by BattleofKnits.

This is my first hat and it was a quick knit. It fits me nicely, but the little guy I have to model is so much cuter!
Cast on: 07-26-09
Malabrigo “Noviembre” worsted weight merino wool.
I added a few extra ribbing rows, and I used a size 8 for the whole thing, rather than a 5 for the ribbing and a 9 for the body.
I love this hat!!! I will make it again, maybe a smaller version though for the cutie pie!
Bind off: 07-31-2009

One Hit Monkey Wonder Socks

I decided on Monkey socks since they are so popular. I have the twisted ribbing done and so far so good. I like the looks of the twisted ribbing… the pattern for the leg seems pretty easy to memorize so far. Note to self: ask Amanda to measure her foot.

Some Oregon Pinot Noir, roses… and Tiramisu. Add that to a lace sock class at Hanks and the sock club… I think I will keep him. He loves me.

One Hit Wonder

Soon to be socks for Amanda, (Looks like mistake yarn was it supposed to be “purple raven” ?) from Hanks… although I am a sucker for those itty-bitty white spots that sometimes shine through on yarn like this… do not ask me why. Amanda told me she like purple and red… so this should work well. I am thinking about trying Monkey’s by Cookie A.

Coaster for Josh

I made Josh a coaster… I get tired of hearing glass-on-glass. Used the left over Swiffer cloth yarn. Size F crochet hook… no pattern used, I was just playing around.
