As some of you may recall, I started a hat last Monday while waiting at the dr’s office w/ the kids.
Well, I finished it over Thanksgiving. Here’s DD modeling it for me:
The best part is that I started a knitting FRENZY while we were there!!! While I was sitting there talking w/ my SIL, I picked up some extra needles and extra yarn & cast on a few stitches and handed it to her. Then I just started showing her what to do, and she was hooked. (hee hee) She never really did get a chance to knit a whole lot, but she enjoyed what she did and was very proud of herself.
On top of that, two of my nieces and my “niece-in-law” (married to my nephew) picked up some “Nifty Knitters” that were lying around and started making stuff w/ those, too! Niece-in-law finished a cute hat, one niece was determined to make a scarf (but I think she ran out of time), and the other is working on a hat, too. It was so fun. I can’t wait to see what everyone shows up with at Christmas.
Anyway, back to the hat above. It’s made w/ Lion Brand Magic Stripes in Jelly Bean, and the pattern is here. The yarn washed up to be much softer than I expected; it was really quity stiff and scratchy to start with.
I’ll be shipping this off to my niece in CO tomorrow!! My first completed gift. :cheering:
And, yes, Ingrid, I noticed that ball of yarn, too, but I didn’t have time to take another pic. I thought about putting some of corkscrews on top, but, again, I didn’t have time.
And now, I don’t really have time to be on here, either! We’re off to the clinic again :doh: … wish us luck!
Thanks, all … DD mentioned the ball of yarn on the table, too, after she saw the picture. Guess I should have “Photoshopped” it out, but I didn’t want to take the time.
I still need to get this thing in the mail!!! Yikes! It’s for a b-day gift for a 11/7 birthday. I am horrible at getting b-day presents anywhere on time.
(hee hee) She never really did get a chance to knit a whole lot, but she enjoyed what she did and was very proud of herself.
