viking knot hat

Well, I haven't been making much this week. (Except for trying to finish a knit Imke shirt for Willa which is giving me a lot of trouble. Stupid sewing machine) So here are some past projects to keep you entertained. THis hat comes from the Viking Patterns for Knitting book. I modified it a bit but I've made quite a few of them in different colors for others. The cable knotwork design is quite fascinating but it does knit up very quickly. This particular piece I made during the Oscars a long long time ago. Way back in the 90's I think. Anyway, I'm still wearing it every winter, even though it's always been a bit big. I felted it a tiny bit a couple of years ago to size it down a little.

Holly hobby

I made sunbonnets for the girls and they love them. They crack me up. They were easy to make, but, as always after I finished them I could see where I should have done things differently. The bonnets are pretty hysterical combined with the feliz dresses. This morning Willa put on her feliz over an orange and pink flowered shirt and topped the ensemble with her sunbonnet. It was a big pink explosion.
