Cabled Baby Hat

I knit this hat for a friend's daughter (though it was originally intended for a friend my own age). She looks quite spiffy in it. The pattern was improvised using size 6 needles and Red Heart Soft yarn.

Green and Rainbow Hat

After being unable to decide for a while what to do with the Bernat Louie yarn my friend gave me for Christmas, I have knit this hat with it. It is a pretty combination of green, black, and gradiated rainbow plies. It will imminently be for sale on my Etsy account (which I will announce here once I have it set up). My friend Anthony graciously consented to modelling this hat.

Pudgy Little Dice Bag

I knit myself a little dice bag because my old one was coming apart and the d4's were falling out through the gaps and ending up loose in my bag. Now I have a little bag that has a cute little pudgy shape, and holds more dice than the old one did. I knit this on 10.5 circular needles, with two yarns, a red and a purple, held together.

     


My dice are so cozy!

Knit Heart

I knit a heart for my friend Sonia! Here it is, in all its stuffed glory.

You can find the pattern here.

Knitted Hat with Pompoms

Here is a hat I made while hanging around campus, waiting for people to come back from October break and while watching many movies. I think it took me three movies' worth of time to make this hat. It is knit in the round without decreasing, the top is stitched together in a straight line, and there are pompoms sewn on the ends. I happily finished this hat on the evening when people returned from break, so the hat made the rounds of all the assembled heads while we took pictures. This hat now belongs to my friend Deirdre. I feel that I must give away most of my knitted things, because I have too many as it is. I have no problem with it, however, as knitted things make fantastic gifts, at little cost to me besides the labor.
