3 down, 1 to go

I finished my KAL clogs, and have even started on the pair the man requested.

No, really - see?

Pre felting, I thought mine were big - but they sized down perfectly!


All thoughts of mine being big went out the window when I finished his 1st clog!
This thing is HUGE! 15 inches long!!


I got a tiny bit sidetracked between Trinity's recent mobility issues and a fun Hat for Alex, but plan to return to the 2nd clog tonight after work.

In the mail

The baby hats are in the mail, on their way to San Francisco and the afghans for Afghans US collection point.

I had some fun taking pictures of the twelve hats I sent in my office.

Ignore that inbox--there are handknits to photograph!

This is my favorite: I spent WAY too long trying to get this pyramid to stay up.

Thanks so much to everyone who participated!

Beary Blue Hat


This is my last hat and I need to get back to Christmas gifts!!! This hat was basically the same as the grey one - CO 88 of a sport weight yarn. Use a size 3 needle. Rib (either 1X1 or 2X2 for an inch), plain knit for 4 inches, then decrease for the top. This is also my Shrek hat because I made most of him while watchine Shrek 3 with the kids. I used Nature Spun Sport in Blue Bell for the hat. It was a bit crunchy at first, I think the yarn has sat in a warehouse for a looooong time. But it soften up the once I got past the first layer on the cone. I think I will have to go ahead and make the sweater for my son I was planning with the rest :)

Have a great weekend everyone!!

Thanksgiving Hat



I finished this little hat on Thanksgiving Day. I hope all of the Charlotte Purls had a great Thanksgiving. We had a food filled day with family and fun at my parents. My sister an I had time to steal away and knit, and mom even joined us for a few moments and crocheted a while. I'm thankful for those moments with both of them!

This hat was made with a sale yarn from Cottage yarns I've never heard of before and can't recall. But it's a soft, sport-weight, superwash. I like how it knits up even and looks a bit heathery. I put it on top of a cone of Brown Sheep Nature Spun Sportweight that I'm going to try to make another hat from before the deadline. I love Nature Spun and have been looking for something to use this pretty blue on. :)
