The Dark Side x 5

Travel = lots of down time for crafty goodness. This trip I took my needles with me and have already worked up 5 (!) hats. Yowza!

Enjoy!

Working for the Dark Side

So I've finally succumbed and learned to knit. I don't really like it so much and it is SLOW (though I'm getting faster), but it is a technique I probably should have learned at some point...so here's my first hat.

It is a bit big and a bit wonky with missing stitches, but it is a hat!

More to come.

ear flap bobbles!

special thanks to the model for a lovely surprise trip to an AMAZING yarn shoppe.

Green Hat

Mucho thanks to my model, Steph, parading my work on the streets of Paris. Apparently it is good enough for a street fashion magazine...though I give credit for that to my model, not my creation.

Next stop Milan!

Bobble 2!

More bobble fun!



New stitches and new pattern = fun spiral goodness & no color changing. Wheee!

Bobble!

Back to basics!

Super Warm Brown/Black Ribbed

Grey Ribbed Earflaps

Fire

this is a blurry photo of the hat that neil is wearing a few posts below in the polaroid. it is a normal hat, but i created a ribbed lip to fold up to make the thing extra warm. wish i had a better photo...

Cookies

This is the fabled 'hat for cookies' hat. not so bad eh? deffo worth the cookies that i never got to eat...

Ribbed for your pleasure

you can't really see it very well in this photog, but this hat was ribbed by hooking DCs around the post (alternating front and back) rather than the stiches themselves.

you can see the ribbing better here:

Leaving the 'burgh

this was my last night in edinburgh. people got loads of free hats because i didn't want to pack them up... wish i had more photos of the hats, cuz there were many more than these 4.

RAWRR!

ode to hat #1

this replicant of my first hat took me something like one one hundredth of the time the first hat took me. this hat resulted in me being offered free beers from transatlantic flight stewards and (i can never tell if he was, but i think he was) unwanted flirting.
