March 07, 2006This is the blanket that never ends...Give me my pointy sticks. , Hey, look! I finished something! , Project SpectrumIt just goes on and on, my friends... um, anyway. I think I like this Rule of Ten thing: here's finish number eight for 2006 so far! A hat, to match the Boring Baby Blanket. I had extra yarn, and Princess Aaralyn likes to be matching. (Well, honestly, I'm not sure she's quite up to such complex fashion decisions yet, but her mommy sure likes it when she's matching. Which isn't hard, because 90% of the child's clothes are pink. And super-adorable. But I digress.) I made up the pattern as I went along - the lace at the top (i.e. where I got bored of stockinette) is supposed to more or less correspond with the lace on the blanket. And that ruffle? Cute, but casting on 240 stitches for a baby hat? Can we say "counter-intuitive"? Anyway, if people like the pattern I'll write it up. Let me know. Since I finished that, I got to start something new! I decided it was time for something pink for Project Spectrum. This is French Fleurette scarf in coral Zephyr. Because really, what says "spring" like pretty little pink French flowers? This is my first time working with Zephyr. I'm liking it, but it is splitting a bit. Let's hope that stops as I get used to it. My goal is to have this done by Easter. But I'd better finish something else sooner than that, because I want to start Rogue SOON.

Posted by: Chris at March 7, 2006 11:52 PMI love the hat. Please do post the pattern. And how do you know how many stitches to cast on for a ruffle like that? I can never figure out ruffles. Posted by: Ivy at March 8, 2006 11:30 AMCute hat! ...and, of course, the fact that I have a lot more experience with toilet paper than I do with baby heads (thank goodness!) heh. laughing at the roll of toilet paper comment. THe hat is VERY Cute. and now there is an apple juice situation for me to take care of help! Posted by: aisling at March 8, 2006 12:56 PM |
