We woke up to this, this morning. Isn't it beautiful???
Hubby is out plowing, I have been shoveling the sidewalk and the back deck. Later we need to go to DD's and plow her out, and shovel her paths.

Then I need to go to Mom's and visit with her for a bit, and fix her supper.

Two new hats, both elizabeth Zimmermann pattern from Knitting workshop

Tuesday, January 3, 2012




Hubby got the camera going last night. I think I put the batteries in the charger wrong, so of course the camera would not work.

Anyway, The two hats with the design, are a pattern from Knitting Workshop by Elizabeth Zimmermann. These hats are the first patterns of hers that I have made. But I am very intrigued by her writing and her patterns.

The camo hat, is knit 3, purl 1. I kind of made it up. There are probably hats out there with this design, but I did it on my own. You can't see the ribbing very well.
I didn't like the way the bottom flared, (I started at the bottom )with the knit 3, so when I was all done, I picked up the cast on stitches, and did knit 1, purl 1, for 1 inch. Like the way is looks much better.
The camo hat is for hubby while he works outside in the winter.

I surely haven't gottem much done since the 20th of December. Seems like I have been yarning a lot, but what did I get done? not much. Seems there has been enough time to do a whole afghan, or an adult sweater, and I only get 3 hats done...oh my
