Works in Progress

Hey everyone! It has been crazy busy around here and i broke my rule about having one project in process at at time. I just finished the first part of another double knitting hat but i haven't settled on the design, i'm thinking the rainbow star from Mario or Bubba Fett.

I am also making another chevron baby blanket in the same colors that needs to get done by march so i have some time yet

Now unlike my last one i am running the yarn up the side of the work so i don't have to weave in so many ends after i finish.

Using four different colors i was worried it would stand out but so far it seems to be working out okay. The pattern start with a knit stitch and then a ssk so the area where that first stitch is seems to be folding over the yarn running up the side.

I am also going to make this snappy hat in a light grey which looks like it will be a fun, easy knit since i really love doing cables. I'm assuming that will be my next post (but no promises!). 

Harley Quinn Hat

Hey everyone! The cold season has not been kind to our household so i havent been able to post until now but i will make it up with this Harley Quinn hat!

Isn't she cute! She was a gift i made for my brother to give to his friend. The hat itself only took three hours but the double stitching took me five hours for this one, one hour more than the black mage but i think it turned out great!

Sorry for the messy house!

I think next hat to be made will be done with a small needle size so i can fit a larger design in, plus i promised someone a Bubba Fett hat. Until next time!

Final Fantasy Black Mage Hat

Hey everyone, just posting a quick knit that i made for hubby, a black mage hat! He saw a post of one on 9gag and wanted one so i whipped one up!

I love knitting hats so it only took me three hours to knit the initial grey hat but adding the design took quite some time, around 4 hours. It is definitely worth it since hubs already said hes going to wear it right when he gets home 

I knit a normal hat and then added on the design from songofstorms442 from deviant art http://songofstorms422.deviantart.com/art/Black-Mage-sprite-393453493. Overall a success!

Owl hats!

I love knitting hats so i fell in love when i saw this knit cable owl hat from Culture of Crafting!

The first i made in raspberry red!

It was such a fun  knit that i made almost all the women in my family one for christmas. I also made striped hats for the men since i doubt they want to wear owls!

More of those wonderful colors! Ultimately i made about 12 of these adorable hats! 

If you want to make one of these owl hats follow this link http://www.knitculture.com/our-blog/wise-old-owl-hats/   they have adult and children size patterns there so have some fun!

This is a chunk of the projects i made for christmas and those lovely owl hats are in the back. The purple has the final touches on and of course i forgot a picture of the others with their buttons, oh well!

Premie Hat

So my niece was born early and i wanted her to have a hat that actually fits her precious little head so i made one! (Sorry i only have the one picture but i made most of it in the car)

 

Aww isn't it cute!

I used size 2 double pointed needles and some shimmery white yarn i had laying around that turned out perfect for this situation! She hasn't been able to wear it yet but i can't wait to see it! 

I'm in the process of making her a chevron pink, white, brown blanket so i will post that soon.
