New finished item

Today I finished my latest hat. This pattern is one I wrote for Brooks Farm Yarn quite a long time ago but I decided to re-do it in Universal Yarn’s Classic Shades. I used one ball of Sapphires to make Natalie’s Hat. The top has me quite enchanted:

But the bottom side looks to me like it’s trying to say something…
Natalies hat
I think it is trying to tell me to knit an entrelac scarf, so I am going to cast on for Natalie’s Scarf tonight using Classic Shades again. This time in the color “Storm Clouds“.

This is a hat knitted using the Entrelac technique. Worked in the round with US #8 needles and one skein of Brooks Farm Solana, a worsted weight superwash wool with amazing color and softness. Fits most adults. This pattern is available on Ravelry.

Delilah Sun Hat (BFY)

Delilah Sun Hat

I needed a new summer hat and couldn’t find a thing I liked and then I thought “Hey, I could knit one!” and so Delilah was born. Knit from one skein of Brooks Farm Yarn Acero (420 yds) you can work this up in time to hit the beach or the backyard swing this summer. Delilah is worked from the top down, starting on double pointed needles and changing to circulars. What about that brim? How did I get it to stand out that way? The secret is weed wacker cord! Once it’s all finished, you can fold Delilah up…

Christmas Revealed

  • Posted on December 28, 2009 at 2:03 pm

The stockings are empty, the wrappings all torn.

It’s time to reveal what was knit to be worn!

I didn’t knit for many this holiday, it’s been one of those busy years here at ChezFairy, but I thought you might enjoy seeing what I did knit for my niece and nephew.

Image3Kallista requested a hot pink and black hat.  What hat would be complete without a pair of matching fingerless gloves? Right, so Auntie Lissa whipped these right up! I used a skein each of Kraemer Perfection Onyx and Butterfly.  She called and thanked me, so I think they were a hit.  The are so cleverly modeled by Meagan, being as Kallie was in far off Ohio.

Image2Holden doesn’t talk yet, so he didn’t get to make a request.  I fell in love with this pattern from mybootee.com, their Sock Bunnee.  I knit him in a skein of Regia sock yarn and used some random white stuff for the accent.  I am told the bunnee’s name is Oswald and that Holden is very fond of him.  I also sent him a great book called “The bunnies won’t stay in their beds” which he and Grandpa have been reading together.

My husband didn’t even laugh (though he did smile) when I said I was going to start knitting for NEXT Christmas already.  Smart man.
