Recent Projects


I've managed to finish a few things lately. It's helped that I've been the passenger in Allen's pickup truck instead of being the driver in our (permanently broken down) van.

I finished two hats in one day on the 7th. One was knitted and one was crocheted. The knitted one is a modified version of "Hat Shaped Hat". I made it smaller, as I was using only one ball of Brown Sheep Burly Spun yarn. It's nice and soft and cozy. I am thinking of saving it for an Afghans for Afghans donation drive sometime in the future.

This is the hat:



(Again, I am sorry for the bad photos. Jerek ordered a new cable for the eepad but it won't be here for another week or so and I want to get these projects up.)


Here is the crocheted one.



This was my own design. I held a strand of Bernat Sesame (Germantown Weight) and a strand of Red Heart Classic held together. The Red Heart is dark pink and the Bernat is light blue. The Bernat is 100% wool. This hat is thus 50% wool, 50% acrylic. It fits me, although it is a tad bit snug. It's average woman size I would think.

Today I started a neckwarmer in Red Heart Super Saver, it's finished but for the buttons. I don't want to take a photo till I get them on. :) It's in garter stitch, very simple. The pattern is from Ravelry, called "Neckwarmer".

I have a few other things I haven't gotten all whipped up, but not ready to photograph. Soon. :)

Back to Sacred Heart

I'm working on things for Sacred Heart Hospital in Eau Claire again. :) I went on a bereavement item kick for a bit around Freddy's birthday, and have been doing baby hats for at least the last week and a half. My favorite were the ones I knitted this little heart design into. Heart pattern can be found here:  Lacy Heart Design  It's not an actual hat pattern, I just worked it into the plain stockinette part of the hat (knit in the round, so remember to knit the purls if you try it!!) I did a coral colored one that I promptly misplaced (😕😕😕😒), then this white one, and then a multicolored one. I've also done some plain stockinette. I tried a new decrease on one that made an X on top instead of a slanting swirl that I really liked. And the burial things. I won't post them all, here here are a few: And the hat with the X decrease. I suppose that has to be all for now, Squish is crying in baby jail. It's supper time I think. She'...
