kids duck hat

wiggly eyes and both slipper sox completed. mailing it to my grandson today, he's gonna love it. heard from another person that i had sold a cupcake hat to and the parents can't get him to take the hat off. just like my grandson he wears all his hats all the time inside the house.

kids hats

ok hat done using simply soft brites yellow yarn. its SO much different than caron worsted weight.

have wiggly eyes that i will probably put on as this will go to my grandson and he wont put things in his mouth anymore.

webbed slipper. i don't do socks well and really need to practice.

did i tell you what my problem was with the first one i made? brought the pattern to my friends house this past weekend and she pointed out how she interpreted the german womans directions. to begin with i was seeing the word 'rnd' (round) but it was really ndl (needle). that made a whole different stitch count, etc. still the idrections are a bit lacky when it comes to gettting her point across. they just aren't the english way you find in magazines. i got spoiled.

knit duck hat progress

knit duck hat, they had it shown in white with a yellow bill. i created this using a yellow and orange for the bill which i think is more like what my grandson is gonna associate a duck color with.

they also have web feet socks which i've not started on yet. the frog hat looks good too, can't wait to start that.

finished 2008 projects

have plans to finish a quilt that is actually knitted. each block is a different quilt block. it will take me at least 40 to make it fit my bed.

also heavily into animal shaped hats for kids. my grandson is gonna love them. he loved the train (car) hat i sent.

Finished projects

gregs new hat

gregs new sweater. used caron simply soft so the stitch count was totally different from worsted weight yarn. also because of where in the house i took these pictures, both projects are using the same exact color and do match when put together.

Merry Christmas to everyone.
