Haulin' Some Keel
Got Pirate Hat?
Aye.
This is a gift.
I know it'll be well loved and will see much snowboarding.
Completed: July 2006
Yarn: DaleGarn Falk
Color: Black and Natural (Kidsknits.com)
Needle: Addi Turbo Circular US3 16"/Clover DPN US 3
Pattern: Hello Yarn's We Call them Pirates Hat
Size: N/A
Inside...
Don't look too close, okay?
This was my first foray into Fair Isle.
I really enjoyed it.
I'm going to make another fair isle hat - but more traditional I think.
No reindeer though. I draw the line there. Nope.
Not on your life.
I recently did a trade with Susan for needles.
She also sent Candy necklaces, Neccos and Bottle Caps...
Ahem.
Pixie and I pounced on that stuff and it was quickly disposed of...
(we promise we brushed our teeth, Susan!!)
Pixie and I indulged ourselves while watching Lemony Snicket. mmm.
With all the Intermediate Level Knitting done, I'm plum tuckered.
I'm enjoying the quiet sock knitting for now.
Although I did just buy some yarn.
For a fall cabled knit.
Richesse Online is selling All Seasons Cotton for $3.99 per skein.
Arrrr! I love the hat! and it blocked out great too. I really think it came out well - so much so that I want you to show me how to do it so I can make one... deal? :)
Fall cable knit? tell me more tell me more!

Posted by: Becky at July 14, 2006 12:35 PMI love that hat, it's such a great combination of traditional and contemporary knitting. Cobra even likes it.
Stick to your socks....oommmmm...
I just bought that issue of knitscene the other day, I like a bunch of the patterns in it. More choices to add to the lineup...
You are a knitting goddess!! The pirate hat ... the something red. And you knit socks for RELAXATION?!! You go chica, you're the bomb.
