a couple FO's for 08





I needed a couple of quick projects to do... the ugly jacket is going well, but has got boring... yep... even with all the colors...I'm about 1/2 way down the first sleeve... so it's going well... just a little bored with it..

lol


Shaker Rib Hat


knitpicks swish... deep ocean


used the recomended needles....


the hat is a bit short for the adult head... I followed the pattern, bit if I knit it again I'll do about a inch more pattern before decreasing



Koolhaas


cascade yarn ( thanks Kris)


recomended needles


I'm doing a extra repeat for this hat too... don't ppl want the ears of canadians to be warm?? lol...


I had loads of problems buying this pattern from the knitting daily site...


if you want this pattern and your living in canada, or probally anywhere other than the states, phone their 800 number have your credit card ready and they'll e-mail you the pattern...



I started another one... in the 3 ply handspun... the colors might take away from the pattern.. but I'll comtinue... it's pretty in person.



till next time

Awesome job on the hats! I am plugging away on a mitten.

The Koolhaas came out lovely! Yay! :] And out of curiosity, what do you plan to do with the ugly jacket once completed?

Ugly jacket? Boooooooooo, it's not ugly at all! I love the way you're striping it. I'll bet it'll be a very warm under jacket garment for the Jan/Feb winter temps.

Your Koolhaas is awesome! That Jared Flood sure is one smart feller. ;)

Thanks for the warning! I have been toying with the idea of buying the babette blanket pattern. (I probably won't... not for a while at least. I have too many other projects that I really should do before buying more.)

Those hats are great! I need to get myself practicing so I can make more than just scarves.
