Trapper Hat

I borrowed the pattern from Jen to make this chunky wool trapper hat for my uncle. I used Cascade Magnum and it was so nice to work with... almost like knitting up clouds (but dry). The dye is orange Kool Aid so he doesn't get shot in the head.

post-felting... Mom thinks she might wear it...

Foliage

Here's the finished Foliage I mentioned in the last post. I think it came out really well and I like it... a lot. Many of you who know me primarily as a crocheter might be wondering why I'm knitting so damn much. Well, I blame knitty.com. I just enjoy the patterns so much, the layout of the website, the humor injected in the form of often eccentric objects to make. I'm just not sure I get the same warm fuzzy feeling from the re-vamped Crochet Me. I like having a professionally produced, fun, free magazine. But I digress...

Because I do so love this hat, and as a thank you to the lovely gifter of South African yarn, a rare self portrait.
