Yet another hat

For someone who does not wear hats, I certainly have developed a knack for making them.This is the latest one I whipped up a couple of days ago when I was bored. It is about toddler size.
Now I need to decide if it needs a pompom or not.

Nothing fancy. Red Heart super saver yarn and size 8 dpns.

Knit Purse

I was inspired by one of those free idea sheets at the craft store. I only changed a few things: the yarn, the color, the size, and the stitches used. I reallly like the way it came out and I will post the directions if anyone is interested in making one.

 

The first picture highlights the stitches used and the corner detail at the bottom. The second one shows the color in a different light. The color is off in the third picture, but you can get an idea of the size.

Quick finish project

Yesterday I decided to finish this kid's quilt. The top was done so it only took about an hour to back it and tie it DMC floss at all the corners. It is made of 100% cotton with polyester batting. It measures 35"x52".

This quilt will be put up for sale.

Sewing Today

I found several started projects yesterday as I was sorting through some storage boxes in my sewing room. Most are very close to completion, I hope to put in a few hours of work anf finish several.
Results will be posted later.

I don't know if I should claim this one ...

 


My child wanted a slouchy Beanie.

Maybe I need to stop taking requests.

Purple Tutu

This was a request from a 16 yr old for her birthday!

It only took a couple of hours to make. The worst part was cutting 6 yds of fabric into 3" strips.

Round Hat

So I thought I would start knitting a hat, ad-libbing, to see what happens.

This is what happened.

Sometimes I wonder about the things I come up with, although I do think it is cute and the stripes are fun.

Anybody need a funky hat?
