Well, I finished working up the scrap ball from the other day. Its all knitted it up into I-cord, waiting to be sewn to the rug. Its a good feeling! BUT...it was only the really small scraps that I knitted up. I still have numerous small balls of various colors...I'll work on that...someday!
Last night I tried my hat idea, but I wasn't too happy with the results. I think it might be my color choices. Anyway, I frogged it & just started making a plain hat. This one has a ribbed brim in a solid royal blue & the top is a variegated in lots of crazy, bright colors. Great kid colors, I think! My daughter used to like those kinds of color combinations, before she got into the "wearing black only" thing! I'm about halfway through this hat, I think it looks sort of boyish, with the blue ribbing.
I still have to think of something for the mitered hat I completed the other day. I'm still looking at it & thinking of ideas. I don't have many for this one. I may ask my daughter. She has lots of great ideas that I wouldn't think of myself! Its great to have another opinion to work with!
The brain is still thinking of the next girly hat that I'm going to do. I already have the color combination picked out. I'm going to do it in the mitered style & make a floppy brim like I did before with the orange-colored one.
That hat is really not orange, it is a rusty red, but it looked orange in every picture I took of it! I tried different lighting, different backgrounds, nothing worked. So it looks orange! Oh well! Since I don't have a small child around for a model, I used a large soup can to give it some body! It worked pretty good, but it would look lots better on a little girls head! Someone will enjoy it, I hope!
