DPP: Day 13

December Photo Project: Day 13

Giant icicle hanging off the building at Paul’s work.

It’s clinging to a gutter that runs down the wall, and for reals, guys, this thing is massive.

(These weren’t actually taken today, so I am kind of cheating, but they were taken this week, so I am going to hope it counts)

Clown Fish

Yep! Another fish!

 


Another Christmas order!

I really like the color combination of the clown fish. Mostly I just love knitting with that orange yarn!

Reginald Hoppington

Ok. So Paul named him, not me. But I thought it was kind of a cute name for this little guy.

He’s another Christmas order

I’m really glad that people request animals, because they’re so much fun to make AND I would have never thought to knit a frog!

So, just so you know, feel free to request any kind of animal and I’ll see what I can do (except a lobster. I tried that and failed miserably…)

Double Pom-pom Baby Hat

The second of 3 hats requested. I had a tiny thumbnail of a picture of something she liked, so I wrote up  a little pattern for this hat.

It’s kind of a funny little hat. Again, I don’t have a baby head to model this on, so our coffee canister will have to do…again.

I’ll post the pattern below.

Double Pom-pom Baby hat (Unless you guys can come up with a better name for it!)

Supplies:
Size  4 DPN’s
3 colors of your choice (I used all Vanna’s Choice Yarn)
Pom-Pom maker

Cast on 72 stitches in Purple, join in the round
Rows 1- 8: *Knit 2, Purl 2* Rep to end
(Switch to white)
Row 9-11: Knit to end
Rows 12-14: Purl to end
(Switch to pink)
Rows 15-17: Knit to end
Rows 18-20: Purl to end
(Switch to purple)
Rows 21-23: Knit to end
Rows 24-26: Purl to end
Switch colors every six rows, repeat rows 9-26 two more times (For a total of 9 horizontal ribs)

Bind off all stitches, lay flat and whip stitch closed. Using a pom-pom maker make two pompoms out of the pink and attach to top corners and voila! Enjoy your baby hat.

Little Bear Hat

I got a custom order for a set of 3 baby hats, this was the first one I made.

Little bear cub.


Yeah, and I have no baby heads to showcase my hats on, so the coffee canister will have to do for now.
