Wanna See Something Cute?

Hehehe, we caught this little guy and my son just thinks he's hilarious! We did release him (a long way away) after taking this video.

One Christmas Present - Done! - Updated!

My husband's niece has become a princess, apparently; so I had to get crafty and make sure she has the proper equipment!

(My son is modelling. He likes it too, and she's just a year older than him AND she's petite, so I think it will be a good fit).







The crown pattern used to be one of the free patterns listed on Interweave Knits, but I can't find it to link to it now. Sorry! If it makes you feel any better, the pattern only covered the actual knitting. I worked out the bead and ribbon embellishments.

**Update** Apparently the website for this pattern was only temporarily unavailable and when I looked today I found it. Although the link was broken and I had to cobble the correct link together by comparing it to a working link for a different pattern. http://www.interweaveknits.com/freepatterns/pdf/sum_06/Make_Believe_Crowns.pdf

Good luck with all your Christmas projects everyone!!

Mushroom Hat

I made a hat out of some heavy handspun (straight off a washed fleece). I was trying to follow a pattern but it was apparent within the first few lines that the pattern was really really wrong and would definitely not yield the pictured hat. So I kind of winged it from there.

It is hard to get pictures of cables in black yarn when you can't use flash. Sorry!
