Rachel's Kerchief

Okay, I was in Iowa this past weekend. I drove down Sat afternoon and drove back Mon morning. I wanted to make my sister something so I bought some yarn I thought she'd like (although I should have waited til I got down there) and a couple patterns and had her choose. It was between a headband and a kerchief. The kerchief won.

Here are some pictures:

This is how much I finished on the first night. It's a simple k1 yo k to end pattern.

Here's the finished picture. She has my eyebrows...although, not as thick.

I had tied it around my head first then put it on Rachie...I didn't want to pull her hair.

Hat and Scarf for the Neilster

This year for Christmas I am making presents instead of buying them.

For my cousin Neil (he's 13) I am making a Beanie hat (one that has ear flaps and strings) and a scarf.

I am using Lion Brand Wool-Ease in Black and Joann Sensations Casual Boucle in Purple. I will have to double up the purple stuff, it's kinda thin,

For the hat, I am using a pattern I found on the Cider Moon website, Jayne Beanie. For the scarf, I am using a patter I found on Needleworks, the Magical Wizard Scarf. I might change the scarf a bit to match the hat more.

I'll post pictures hopefully over the weekend.
