Working on another Lemon Curd Slouch Hat
Using Cascade 22o for this, the color is Persimmon.
TOTALLY done with Christmas orders and it feels really good. I’m still working on a tiny bit of Christmas knitting for my family, but I am pretty happy just being done with all of my orders!
Ok, so I finished my twisty scarf, and now I will let you guys vote on which one you guys like best. I just can’t decide!
I’ll also be sharing the pattern later this week.
There was a nice bit of snow coming down while Paul was taking these pictures
And what I really like about this scarf? No blocking required! Which is good, because I finished it late last night and it’s going to its new owner this afternoon!
Ok! So now I need you to vote on the name you like best!
A) Twist and Shout
B) Diagon Alley
C) Tree Trunk
D) Cable Crossing
E) Licorice Twist
F) Twizzler
G) Hagrid’s Beard
OK! So leave me a comment and let me know (All of the names above are ones that were suggest to me in the comments when I first posted a picture of this pattern) And whoever had the winning name will get a little present. (That is unless it’s my name that is drawn picked, then I’ll send it to the runner up!)
Another Christmas custom order
A teeny little kitten.
For an upcoming baby shower.
My coffee canister is becoming a regular pro at modeling baby hats for me.
I even made a multi-colored pompom! I bought myself a little plastic pompom maker because I was tired of making them without one, using little cardboard circles… guys, it wasn’t working out so well, but now, with this pompom maker, I am a regular pro at it these days.
Loving the blue on blue. There’s just something about stripes that really draws me in. Especially cute little boys in stripes, right? Definitely.
December Photo Project: Day 16
Christmas knitting, drinking coffee, watching Muppet Christmas Carol and wearing my favorite slippers. A good morning, for sure.
I made The Daily Knitter’s Free Pattern of the Day! I am so excited!
I’m not sure how well you can see it, but it says:
“Today’s free knitting pattern for Tuesday, December 14, 2010 is Orca Whale”, with a link to my blog and the orca whale pattern I posted a few weeks back!
I’ve also been linked (with 3 of my patterns) to Knitting Pattern Central, which is a huge resource for free knitting patterns, knitting tips and help. And then that combined with my Ravelry Page, there are a lot my patterns popping up on the internet! It’s a lot of fun to see other people making my hats and little animals! So, if you are one of those people that’s made one of my patterns, please let me know! I am so curious to see how they’ve turned out!
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!
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…)
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.
So, Knittybutton readers, I need some help. I’ve been working on this pattern for a few days now.
So, what kind of names can you come up with for this pattern? It’s a pretty simple knit-purl pattern, but it almost looks like tiny cables running throughout the pattern.
The only things I can come up with are Harry Potter themed names like “Diagon Alley” or something silly like that…uh, you know, cuz it kind of goes diagonally?
So, if you can give me a good name for this scarf, maybe I will be awesome and send you something in the mail.
