and the last of the christmas knitting… a beret for my mother.
wool makes her itch, so this one is alpaca, and as long as i can remember she has not worn hats on her forehead. enter the beret-ish shape. the perfect hat shape for my mama.
i’m going to write up the pattern for this one. now that i’m done with the last yarn show of the season, you may actually see some of these patterns come to fruition. that, or the baby will crawl and i’ll get nothing done. we’ll see.
baa baa black sheep
have you any wool?
yes sir, yes sir,
twelves bag full.
one for the baby
and one for his mom
ten for the yarn room
and now they’re all gone.
this is ben’s version. he not only has a horrible memory for lyrics, i don’t actually think he knows the real lyrics to this one :) and here’s a picture of the babe in his lovely baa baa black sheep shirt, gifted to him by a dear friend.
p.s. if you’re in the DC area, you should come to this show. it’s awesome… and it’s this weekend!
just three more simple hats. one for my brother.
one for a brother-in-law. i get bored with the tops of boy hats, so i try to do something different every time. this one got interesting ;)
and for my dad. this one is made out of my hand dyed lamb’s pride bulky.
luckily it’s still cold in montana and alaska so these are still useful… unlike if they lived here. geesh 80 degrees!!
snapdragon worsted and rainbow chard are in the shop!
and the most recent newsletter. homespun yarn party here i come!!
another hat from the book now fitting the babe
one of my all time favorite ways to decrease. and the orange – oh la! - i really dig bright colors on babies. also, love monochromatic. but you may have already noticed that!
it’s the perfect weight for our erratic (winter? spring?) weather. raveled here.
rainbow chard light and snapdragon sport going up in the shop!
and, getting its own picture, a gold which could be used for pittsburgh sports team knitting :) if i lived anywhere else, i would have dyed over this. it didn’t photograph so good either. but alas. to pittsburgh!
i gifted two knits to a friend’s wee one… and these were the lovely photos i got back :)
the original belle sweater. raveled here.
and this pink hat that i kept until i had my little boy. i don’t like the knits to sit around too long, so waiting to see if i might have a girl some time in the future was not in the cards. raveled here.
thanks for the pics mama! and the modeling sweet little girl.
hand dyed lamb’s pride and snapdragon fingering going up in the shop!
and, of course, there is also one skein of blue fingering that missed the photo shoot.
