More Triple Play Hat

Because I can't get enough of the triple play hat...here are pics of the lastest version:

Wire Cuff

There are many reasons to give love to Coco Knits. Here's one: The wire & pearl cuff.


This was a fun project - knitting w/materials other than yarn was interesting, and the result were great! It'll be fun to experiment w/different wires and beads. It was a bit tricky getting the fit correct as there is no clasp - it took me two tries to get it. But the project only takes a few hours..so it was no biggie.

FUN!

Materials: Sterling Silver Wire, gauge 26 & Faceted Fresh Water Pearls.

One down. One to go.

Exciting news of the week:

I made my first sock. And it fits!

This is the coolest thing ever - and all I can think of now is making more socks. I'm adding socks to my list of knitting obsessions. Along with cowls.

Just need to knit a mate for this guy and then it's on to more socks from this:

Triple Play Hat

Another great pattern from Craig at Loop: the Triple Play Hat. Very easy, very fast.


This hat is knit with yarn held triple throughout - so a variety of color palettes can be achieved. I made this one with 3 of the same color for a more conservative hat - but I'm excited to start experimenting w/more creative color choices. Many of these will be made for Holiday '08, no doubt!

Yarn: Blue Sky Alpacas Sport Weight in Light Gray

PS: my latest work in prog is a pair of socks - my first pair to be specific. This is very exciting...in an admittedly nerdy way.

Pom Pom Ped

Check out this new pattern from the Purl Bee

Pom Pom Peds:

They're ridiculously cute. I'm very excited to make them!

Quick Cowl 2

Made another quick cowl:

This one's for Elly.

Yarn: Plymouth Baby Alpaca Grande in Pale Blue.

Yarn!

Wait...I thought this week was all about stash busting. But then this happened:








Whoops.
