14: Cat Hat

This was fun to make. I used the Official Kitty62 hat pattern with some purple and gray/silver yarn. When I made this hat, Shannon told me that I had to wear it to K-State games. So, this last game it was cold and I wore it. I must say I felt a bit silly. A 25 year old wearing a bright purple hat that has cat ears on it. But hey, it's for fun.

Lucky Number 13

I saw a diagonally knit piece once. So, I decided I'd attempt to recreate that piece with some left over yarn.

I used US Size 6 needles and cast-on 24 stitches.

For row 1, K4, P4 until the end of the row.
For the 2nd row, I did the reverse of what I did on the front (So K4, P4).
For row 3, I shifted the pattern, I started with K3. Then P4, K4 until I was down to the last stitch, K1.
The 4th row reversed that (So start with P1, K4, P4.... P3).
I continued this until the yarn ran out!

12: Snotvia Bag

This was supposed to have a row of small skull and crossbones under the larger one. But instead of that, I wrote "Snotvia." I got the pattern from Jezebel at talklikeapirate.com. Here is a direct link to the pattern. It took me a while to make, but it was worth it. It was my first felted project too.

I now use the bag to carry around the current knitting project and supplies. I like it. And I like it more because is says "Snotvia!"

ee-levin

So, walking to school is cold right, and I have hats and scarves and gloves and coats, but nothing extra for my legs. Well, not true. Not true.

I've started to collect me some leg warmers. Maria got me the first ones. Then mom got me some black ones. But I made me some striped ones. Um, I started them a while a go, and worked on them and my beaded scarf in alternating parts. PS... one leg is thinner than the other. Whoops.

Ten

Mom bought me the supplies for this scarf at a local store called Wildflower Yarns and Knitwear. I had a really difficult time starting it. I had to thread on a couple hundred beads then use a long-tail cast on method. I had no idea of what this was. When I finally figured it out, I managed to make sense of the rest of the directions and finish the scarf. It took me a good long time.

My first real hat attempt (not a failed scarf turned hat). It sucks, I know. Don't be afraid to think it.

Better luck next time.

The 6th

This scarf is pretty cool. I'd wear it a lot more if it was longer. The coloring is due to a really neat yarn I got at Wal-mart. I did ribbing on this scarf, that makes it a really nice texture. I may make another one of these only longer.
