Gnomey Hat

This is Zimmerman's Ganomy Hat, from Knitters Almanac.
Fun knit up, ridiculous looking thing to wear on your head. Two of the best reasons to wear it. :)

Seragita's Tam


This is the matching tam to the netherpant tights. I added in that eyelash to match the cuffs of the pants. The band is a knitted hem. Usually I start the hem at the bottom, turn with a purl row and then continue the hem till it's time to increase stitches. This time I did the bottom of the band and when the hat was finished, picked up the stitches along the cast on edge and knit up the inside of the tam doing the name with a little two color stranded knitting.

The mittens are next and then her ice skating outfit will be done.

New Cast On Techy

I just found the greatest little video on loose casting on. This is especially good when you're casting on for a shawl that has lots of lacey bits and needs to have a loose cast on. It's not too complicated if you're familiar with a long tail cast-on, but Rosemary has great pics and a vid on her blog. So go check it out!

Hether's Tam finished.



This is the finished tam knit with EZ's Tam pattern. I spun the wool, Hether dyed it with Kool Aid! The hem is a wide rolled stocking net. Fabulous!

C'est Fini!



Finally it is finished. It looks good on too, and should be just the right size. I'm hoping CeCe takes a pic of herself wearing it for the blog~!

CeCe's hat


This is the "too big" version. But when I was unraveling it I disovered I really liked the drape of the fabric these combined fibers make with the size 15 needles. I'm still going to unravel this and work it up as a hat with a middle sized needle. But I think this would make a lovely cape or a sweater if one wanted to get into sleeves! Nice discovery.
