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 is some detail...nice sock ; )


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.

Neil's Hat

Here are some pictures of Neil's hat.


Here's the hat at 7 rounds. It's a k2p1 stitch.


Here's the hat at 18 rounds. The colors are a little bright.


Here is a close-up on the hat. These colors are closer to the actual colors.

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.
