More Hats!

More hat pictures!  Again, these are all helix spiral hats.  Can I emphasize enough that these use a lot of scraps?!  LOL!   My favorite of today's pictures is the dark blue, light blue & pink.  It is just cheery, I think.  Plus the yarns were sooooo soft.  It was a joy to knit up. 

I've been doing really well on the sweater.  I'm almost finished with the first sleeve.  Maybe another inch or two, then the cuff.  I think that posting my lack of ambition was enough to give me a push to work on it.  Its a sorry thing that the whole world could see my lack of inspiration.  But whatever it takes to get me knitting on it again! 

The second sleeve will take a bit of time to show progress.  I'm picking up stitches from the neckline & working my way down.  It will have a saddle shoulder effect.  Trying to figure out which stitches to reverse to make it match the front was a challenge!  Once I got that, the rest wasn't too difficult.  Now if only I can keep myself from making stupid mistakes like crossing the cables the wrong way!  Arghhh!

Your hats are adorable! You always make th cutest hats and I love the colors. I have not been able to see the picture of your daughter modeling the shawl :( Nothing shows up when I look at it. Can you see it?

Yes, I can see it...that is really strange. Maybe try the refresh button. Or click to view the larger picture, that might work instead. Hope that helps!
