Another Cabled Hat

I am on a roll with the cabled hats. I found another pattern that was well written and very straight forward. It was easy from beginning to end, and I didn't have to constantly refer to the pattern. I told Jim to text me a cute picture of him wearing the new hat and he sent me this picture. Here is the link for the hat pattern:

Funky Scarf

I made this scarf a while ago and never posted it. I love the color combination with the red, brown and turquoise. I knitted it lengthwise and it came out a bit short, but I still like it.

Jim's Cabled Hat

My husband reminded me that I had not knitted him a hat in over a year. Since he is my biggest knitting fan I wanted to try and make him something a little different than the usual knit hat. I found a cabled hat pattern that I liked, but it really wasn't worded very well. I got through the pattern fine until the decreases. It just did not make any sense. Mary always says to trust the pattern, so I did. Well, I tried anyway. I took it out three times and finally just decreased in a way that made sense to me. It came out pretty ok. It should be good for the cold weather we are supposed to get this week. He just sent me a text of him wearing his hat at work so I will post it!

More Toe-Up Socks

Hey, Guys!

I've been meaning to post these pictures, but I really hate the dial-up! It takes forever to upload photos.

Paula, the self-striping yarn you gave me knit up just great! I'm going to give the socks to a friend whose birthday is this weekend. I thought some comfy socks and See's candy would be just the thing. I hope the yarn doesn't pill too much. This is the first time I've used this brand of yarn.

To the far right, those aren't mittens on my little friend, Elise's hands. She has been growing so fast and has outgrown most of the socks I've made for her. I made her a new pair. It turns out, she loves to wear socks on her hands. Time to knit some mittens....
