Merry Chris-Moose!

 

Merry Christmas to everyone! Or should I say Merry Chris-Moose!

Poinsettia Pins

 Today is Christmas Eve, and this is my Poinsettia pattern.  Here is hoping that everyone reading this will have a safe and happy holiday, no matter what holiday you celebrate!

Winter Flowers

Every now and then, I get in a rut, if you can call it that. Here is a series of hats I did a few years ago in worsted weight yarn in a variety of colors and shades. I might have to dig this pattern out again and make some more. I remember that this is a very fun pattern to make.

 

Slouchy, Slouchy, Slouchy!

I just love slouchy hats. Here are a few that I have put together. The one above is from a silky wool in shades of pink. The other two are self-striping yarns.

 

Flapper hat

Just a bit of decoration on the side of a simple garter stitch hat. Add a buckle, some feathers and enjoy the stares!

 

Last of the Buckets (for now)

 

This yarn is not red -- it is SCARLET. This picture doesn't give it justice. It is a very, very bright red. I added the black trim to make it even brighter. Although the hat is knitted, I crocheted the trim. I don't do a lot of crocheting. I don't have anything against crocheting; I just like knitting better. 

Bucket of Blues

 This is Knitpicks Chroma yarn and I just love the colors. Blues, grays, and purples! If you looked at my closet, you will see overwhelming shades of these colors. Like I said before, they are on my color chart. I am drawn to purples like a five-year-old girl to unicorns. So, obviously, this is now going on sale. This one is mine.

Continuing the Bucket List

 

 

A few days ago I said that I wanted to make more of the bucket hat, and for the last several days, that is exactly what I have been doing. This is tweed worsted yarn and since I didn't know if I had enough to make the entire hat, I knitting a beige band. Turned out it was a good thing because I had just enough yarn to finish the hat. It did turn out a little big, but it is perfect for a guy.

The Key(hole) to Knitting

 

I used some wonderfully soft alpaca bulky yarn to make this keyhole scarf. This is mine. Since our house can get cold every now and then, I keep it by my recliner to put on as I am knitting. I really, really love it. And lavender is on my color chart!

Bucket list, or hat

This is commonly called a bucket hat. Once again, I made this a few years ago. I either gave it away to a friend, donated it to charity, or sold it at church. The pattern is called "A Better Bucket" and it was pretty each. I am going to have to make more of these. 

Sure is cute.
