Big and Easy Cowl

My recurring theme is to finish projects I have on hand.  I did that this weekend.  I bought this neat yarn by Lana Grossa and thought I would tackle making a cowl with it.  It is a chunky yarn and I was able to use size 17 needles.  It is a quick project except for the fact that the directions were wrong and I had to make the cowl 4 times.  I made it right the 2nd time and did not realize it and pulled it out only to make it incorrect the 3rd time to have to redo one final time.  Here are a couple of pictures:

 Happy Knitting!!!!

Thank you to all who leave comments.

I do appreciate them.  It is nice to share my delights

with others who like the same things as I do.

Happy Crocheting!!!

Baby Blanket in Pink

I made a baby gift for my neighbors who had their first baby.

I do like the circular baby blanket.  It is just like making

a doily for a table.  I hope they enjoy the blanket.

Here are some pictures.

Here is the book the pattern came out of.

The pattern is Purely Delightful

Classic Cloche

Classic Cloche Hat

I made this hat for myself.  As I age, I like hats more and more.  I need to make some finishing touches with the underside of the brim.  I used the yarn from Knits Picks named Telemark.  It is the color Lazurite Heather.  This yarn is a 100% Peruvian Highland Wool.  The pattern is also a Knit Picks choice called Classic Cloche.  This pattern is very easy.  I did have to change my needle size down because the first time I made this hat, it was waaaaay too big.  I have enough yarn left over to make a second one for one of my daughters. Since this is my first time making a hat, I had trouble putting the Timtex into the brim and making it fit my head circumference.

My new classic cloche

It is a beautiful color and matches my eyes so well.
