The long awaited pictures. :)

I love this hat. The yarn is so thick, warm, and soft. I made this pattern as I went along, and this time I remembered to write it down before I sent it out. My husband liked the pattern so much he asked for one in another color. :) I think I might have even found a hat that my daughter would wear! (one can hope) Right now all she will wear is the earwarmers that I make. This was taken without a flash so you can see the pattern.

This picture was taken with a flash so you could better see the color, but It really isn't THAT bright. Beautiful blues, purples and a hint of green. Its Lion Brand Thick & Quick yarn in Green Mountain Color.

This is the finished Harry Potter Hat. Second time's a charm, right? Its the match to the previous scarf. Its a tight fitting skull cap, that I did follow a pattern for. However I think that next time I make one, I'm going to change a few things about it. Personally I don't like how it fits. I know it will stretch over time, but still. I really like how the striped pattern worked out just like the scarf. Starting on blue and ending on blue. :)

Next on the list is to make my daughter a new pair of fingerless gloves. She's worn her favorite pair so much that they are falling apart after 3 years. They were the second pair I ever made. I've come a long way since then so I know this pair (and pattern that I made) will last her for a long while.

More colors...

So I broke down and bought some more yarn yesterday. A few different styles that I've never worked with so we shall see what happenes. :) This morning I spend a great deal of time looking up new and different patterns to go with the new colors. (well new and different to me, anyway)

Again, Lion Brand Homespun Baroque: 'Heathered Solid'

This one is an elegant mix of violets and gray with just a hint of dark rose.

Bernat Baby Jacquards Yarn 90% Acrylic and 10% Nylon

This is called Easter Basket and its a lighter weight than I've ever used before. I thought that it would make some cute fingerless gloves.

"I'm a Big Boy" is the name for this one. I just liked the way the blues and greens flow together.

Red Heart Yarn 100% Acrylic

This is as close to the actual color that I could find. Its called Art and pretty much is a rainbow. This I'm making into a hat.

Stars and Stripes pretty much says it all. My husband thought that it would be a cute skein to work with. I have tried and tried to make this into a scarf and no matter what knit or crochet pattern I have tried it just doesn't flow right. I say this after asking 3 different people what they thought of what I had come up with. I'm going to try a hat and see what happens.
