My Portrait!
That's me, according to my 11 year old, Emily. Quite flattering, I feel :)
I finished Mum's hat!
I'm not always so quick a knitter - it's still school holidays here, so the days are lazier than normal and I can sit up late at night and knit. Pity I can't do it all the time! The hat is a really simple one. 2 strands of worsted weight, moss stitch all the way. I'm pleased with the way it turned out, and I may even have to make one for myself :)
I started Em's bucket hat, and it's whizzing off the needles. I also managed to ge tto the craft store today, and picked up some more Zhivago to make DH another hat. Just a simple slip stitch beanie in 3 colours.
Poor guy had cancer last year, and I didn't knit him a single hat then, but this is the second one I've made this year. I'm using the same colours as the picture, but with a rollback brim.
I also put enough Angora Supreme to make Rogue on pay-as-you-knit. I chose a nice bright blue.
And I got some black Angora Supreme to make a scarf.
I think I better learn to knit quicker ;)
