What I've Been Doing Lately

Hello again. Two blog posts in two day? I know, shocking!

I've been knitting and crocheting, of course, so I thought I would share a few of my latest projects.

Yesterday I finished up a wool hat using Lamb's Pride that I started about a week ago. It's a charity knit of course, as are most things I make!

It is called Turquoise Sideways HDC Hat, it is child sized and I am pretty happy with it.

I also made three scarves, sideways in double crochet with double stranded worsted and a size M/N crochet hook. Super fast, 4 to 5 rows and you're done! :) Two of these, along with a hat to match one of them and another hat I made ages and ages ago, are packed up and ready to go to the Reservation when I get the chance to mail the package. I found the recipient on the Okini List. I sent another hat I made, along with a little sweater Tiri outgrew and a new board book, a few weeks ago. :)

I've also made a few more things for Freddy. The most impressive is this:






Isn't it neat?? I did cables. :) :) It's called Owlie Sleep Sack for Freddy. This yarn came from Yarnology last July, before I knew what we were having, and the two skeins bought at 30% off were *just* enough to make the sleep sack. I literally has a golf-ball sized ball of yarn left, which had me a wee bit nervous for a while since I didn't want to run out before I finished.

I also made a slipped stitch hat, and when I finished it Tiri claimed it as hers. I am flattered. :)

Well, this is nowhere near all I've done lately but I think it's enough for now. It's nearly 5am and I'm getting hungry. The cat woke me up at about 3 by dousing me with a cup of milk I had by the bed that I didn't get finished last night. :( It was a heavy cup too, to get hit on the head with. Guess that'll teach me. *sigh*

  1. The hat is lovely. My daughter would have wanted it as well when she was that age. Isn't is flattering when they claim things they like?

    1. Yes it is! It's extra nice right now since last winter she would have nothing to do with hats. Her winter hat was one I made, it had ear flaps so she *couldn't* pull it off! :) The fact that she wants to wear one this year makes me very happy!

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'...
