More finished knits

A simple little hat for Jimmy. Finished this a few months ago but finally made him stand still for a picture. It’s alpaca and really warm.

The Capitan Hat for myself. The brim is a little large for my liking. I may rip it out and redo it with fewer stitches. I’m not sure.

I like the cables though.

My Oceanic Tote. This is one of the first projects I ever started knitting back in 2004. I never felted it because I didn’t feel like doing 72” worth of i-cord for the handles. I HATE i-cord. A ravelry user suggested I cast on 200 stitches then cast them off. I ended up doing 120 per handle. Perfect! I felted it and love it.

Damn gurl! You're knitting up a storm.

I love that hat on you - so cute - does it have a plastic brim in it or something or is it just knitting?

I'd like to find a project similar to make my brother - he loves hats like that.

Jimmy's hat is uber-fantastic. Nice job!

OMG- I LOVE the hat you are wearing!!! Was it difficult?

Great had on Jimmy- and also, a great pic of him in general. The face he is making is very cute! I don't normally like it when people make faces, because it rarely comes off, but it totally does in that pic!!

Haven't tried i-chord, or felting- I am sure I will get to it, eventually.

Fierce.

I especially like your hat that you made Jimmy... and the fact that he's wearing it :)

I'm so excited to see a fellow Norfolk blogger. I've only lived here a short time.

I'm dying to learn how to knit, do you happen to know of any classes locally? I live downtown.

Thanks so much!!
