FO: Mom's earflap hat

Okay I know this is a little late but. . . This was my last finished project of 2009. This was made for my mother-in-law on request for a stocking cap like the Monkey's.



Patterns: I kind of blended two patterns and add a little but of extra. The two patterns that I based it on was Tiennie's earflap hats and Thorpe

Yarn: Univeral Yarn Deluxe Worsted in Onre Blue (71601) and a gray/cream color. This was leftovers from the Boy's hat and I still have more leftover.

Size: Adult large (23 inches)

Okay here is one of the two projects that I finished before Christmas:

Pattern: Norwegian Star Earflap Hat by Tiennie
Yarn: Univeral Yarn Deluxe Worsted in Onre Blue (71601) and a gray/cream color.
Size: Adult large (23 inches)

This hat knit up a little on the small side. I 'm thinking it was my tension on the color work. Otherwise it worked up quickly, as I started this the beginning of December and finished adding the strings on on Christmas Eve.

The two skeins of yarn that I bought were more then enough to make this hat. In fact have made two hats and still have leftovers of it. It worked up nicely, and made a fairly soft knit.

I got this finished final over the weekend. I had it pretty much finished the week before just had to go and pick up ribbon.

Pattern: Matinee Coat by Debbie Bliss found in her Simply Baby book.
Yarn: a little over 3 skeins of Knit One Crochet Two Babyboo in olive
Size: 6-9 months

My model didn't want to stay still very long for me to take pictures.

First she was like this:



Ten seconds later she was like this:



I hope every one is having a good week. I have more that I want to share. Here's hoping that I have a good internet connection so I can.

FO: Monkey's hat

Well this week I did get this finished. The this hat has been sitting on the to finish pile since April. All it was waiting for was for me to add ties and sew in the ends:

Patterns: Scrappy Flap Hat by Tiennie

Yarn: Lion Brand Wool-Ease. I used all yarn from the stash/scrape pile. colors I think are: cream, denim, gray, and dark rose

Size: knitted on size 7 circular needles and end with 5 stitches per inch and had six pattern repeats.

This was my first attempt at color work. I don't think it turned out too bad. But I don't like sewing in all those ends.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

FO: Crossover jacket

What a week. I'm so glad that it if Friday. It's been rainy here most of the week. Which I don't really mind. But it's made it hard to want to get anything done. I've wanted to spend most of my time curled up on the couch.

But I do have something to show you.



I finished the Crossover jacket for Little One.



pattern: Crossover Jacket by Debbi Bliss found in Simply Baby book
Size: 3-6 month
Yarn: Mission Falls 1824 Cotton in 775 vintage(purple,blue and green variegated) less then 5 skeins.

This was a great to knit up as a first sweater. I do know I'll need to work on my seaming. When I finished I noticed that the neck/collar was off center. So when Little One wears it doesn't lay right. And because of this, I didn't put the button on, so we're using just a tie closer.
