Hats, hats, hats

The blue hat on the left is the 1898 hat you saw me working on last week. Then I tried two sizes of the Beloved pattern that Carole sent to all of us. The more I think about it the more I want to take the pompom from the large hat and put it on the baby hat. That will be tomorrow's project.

Dancing Flames is the name of this one Barbara B. knitted. It's a purchased pattern on Ravelry.

She also made The Little Gnome Hat from a Ravelry pattern. It's partly knitted flat and partly in the round.

The Panini Beanie is another Barbara B. creation from a free Ravelry pattern.

Next up are Margaret's FO's. She was able to make these two colors go a long way.

Version 2, Broken Stripes Hat

Version 3

And now we've run out of pink and purple. Some nice neutrals in the mix.

The easy 2x2 ribbed hat is a fan favorite.

Barbara B.'s daughter asked if she could make Mason jar koozies for her breakfast cereal.

Sure! Just use a pattern for a beer koozie.

#2 on needles now.

Cinzia visited Westerly, Rhode Island last week and attended a local yarn store knit night so she had to find a library with knitting books to grab a pattern. She said their local library was like a museum, a beautiful place to visit. The scarf pattern is Arum Shawl.

Janna continued making progress on her Morton Cowl.

Margaret started a bandana style cowl in the round but the pattern was giving her a hard time so it was appropriate to frog it and make something else.

Jan A. found a pattern for a cowl/neck warmer that called for bulky yarn but she didn't like the result so she subbed worsted weight and it's working out fine.

This was her pattern from which she took the info.

Three times this pattern kept showing up in my Facebook feed so the fourth time I caved and bought it.

When I searched through the stash, I found the perfect yarn for it and started last night. I'm still having to read every pattern line but I have the feeling I'll be able to memorize it soon.

Dorah's Declan's Hat is at the start of the cables. That's her red cable needle peeking out the back of her work.

And there, surrounding the central bar you can see the cable leaning left on the left side and right on the right side.

My cousin sent us a Brooklyn Blackout Cake in the mail so the Chicks and I had a little taste of the chocolate-y goodness in between stitches. Now I feel like I need to run around the block. I think I'll sit down and knit until the feeling passes! LOL! 

Keep those needles clicking!
