done, done and DONE!
celtic owl hat, my first stranded project. knitting two handed is a pain, but i love the result
this is a christmas gift for my dad. shhhhh!
pre blocked...
more details...
top view. i think i goofed the top up, but i don't think it's noticeable...
my floats...not too shabby! the designer suggested knotting the ends together as they would felt when worn. for the first half of the hat i wove in my ends...but dear bob is it a PITA, so for the rest of the hat i just knotted the ends out of sheer laziness.
my new favorite hat - rikke!
top of the hat...
arty shot of me modeling my hat. i swear it's growing becos it seems more slouchy every time i wear it!
the million dollar albatross mom's shawl.
my shawl is crooked becos i started it back in the summer and when i picked it up i forgot to increase on the first and last stitch of each row, hence the shawl's weird shape. at first it put me off, but when i put it on the "arms" of the shawl hang down the front and the shawl sits nicely on my shoulders. my mom is not a "shawl wrapper" and i think she'll like this. the pattern was to make a child sized shawl with fringe along the edge, but i kept on knitting until, as EZ puts it "knit until i was sick of knitting it". i used only one ball of yarn. i still have another ball of yarn (that would be for the matching mommy scarf).
i still have to make grams gloves, and i started knitting coffee cup cozies for the boy's teachers. i have 5 of these things to knit. i'm not in the mood for knitting (been hitting the books lately) - wish me luck!
