Pink Ribbed Hat

My niece picked out some Debbie Bliss alpaca/silk when we went to the yarn store together, and requested a hat. I combined the pink with some Caron Simply Soft dark brown, and turned out this:



It's just a simple 2x2 rib knit on size 8 dpns, but I rather like how it came out!

Apple Hat

I made my nephew this Apple Hat! I couldn't resist...it's so adorable.





I followed the pattern exactly, using a size 6 needle and Reynold's Kids Bright Red for the hat and Bright Green for the leaves, and a bit of Caron Simply Soft Dark Brown for the stem.

And here he is in it!!!

Wavy Gravy

I completed a scarf and hat set for a good friend of mine. I have completed the scarf, which is Wavy Gravy from Stitch n' Bitch Nation.

Here's the halfway point:



I used Laines Du Nord Maxi in White and Neon Green. The pattern in the book was a bit skinny for my tastes, so I altered the waves a bit to make the scarf wider.

Here is the hat:



And me wearing it...hopefully she'll send me a pic of her in it and I'll edit that in:
