I've made a few hats lately, just for fun and to get something quick and easy on the needles.
The first one is my own creation, it's a slouchy hat with moss stitch, and the yarn was called Extra Merino Premium by Schachenmayr. It's adult size so I could keep it myself, but I think I will pass it on at some point.
... and Busse yarns from Nördlingen (where I have family) is one of my favourites.
The last Busse yarns I got were these lovely brown wool-silk blends - made in the BDR (so they have to have been made pre-1990!). I usually wouldn't knit with silk, but I might make an exeption here.
Any ideas what I could make with it?
Can you spot the graffiti in the first picture?
My husband is currently showing some of his artwork in a business premises which is currently unleased. The owner asked my hubby to create a piece of art to drew attention to the premises - he did, and also he organized an exhibition with some other artists as well.
The year 2012 was truly a year of charity knits for me - I don't know how much I actually knit but it was loads. Dozens of squares for Knit a Square, socks, cowls and mitts for the animal shelter and other things, too.
Here are my last charity knits for 2012: a bunch of squares, a kid's hat and two toddler vests. The vests are similar to the Mrs. Applebomb vest, just with a different gauge and without the cable (I admit, I was just lazy!)
Did you remember I set myself knitting goals in January 2012? Well, me neither..! I have to admit, I completely forgot all about these sometime during the first half year of 2012. But nonetheless I did make some progress though, just look:
So the plans were as follows:
Knit...
I did this! Photos to follow.
