Monmouth Cap

My daughter is modeling one of the many Monmouth Caps I've been knitting lately.
History and pattern by Jennifer Carleson.

The little tab on the side is a signature of the Monmouth, it's a loop that historically they aren't sure what the use for it was. Either to hang it when you took it off, or attach it to a tab on a helmet so it stayed put when removed.

Made one for my sweetie out of some Rambouillet that I spun last year and it looks very authentic, not to mention the wool is exceptionally soft! More of that is on the way.

Helga Hat

I saw a cap like this in The Golden Compass and thought I'd try to knit one up. I love how it fits. My dear little Granddaughter is patiently modeling for me. I made one for myself and I just love it. My Granddaughter says it looks like a gnome and my husband calls me Helga when I wear it...thus the name.

More Netherpants

As you can see in previous pics--these pants have been completely redone. We got her a pair of rainboots, and it seemed more sensible to make the cuffs tight to fit inside the boots. Then she mentioned she'd like to be able to pull them over her feet when when she wears them to bed. What started the re-knit was the fact that they fit too tightly. She is growing like a weed! :)

Here you can see where I once again knit her name into the waistband of the pants. When frogged the flared version back (these are knit from the bottom up) she asked where her name had gone to? I had contemplated not knitting it in the second time...good thing she mentioned it :).

They are extra long, giving her room to grow and she can pull them down over her feet. She said she likes to keep her toes out because she get's too warm ;). These were pretty much designed by SG. All the alterations were her suggestion, and it worked!
