As the days get shorter, the evenings cooler, my knitting reflex is triggered. I can't help myself. I'm trying to stick to my stash for the most part and quick, mindless projects like hats. Everyone needs a hat, right? Almost as much as I need to knit one.
The first hat was inspired by the Ski Beanie I saw in this book. I modified it since it was a pattern for an adult but it ended up too small even for Adam. Yeah, I'm good. With rare knitting persistence, I frogged it and added some length. Now it fits Drew! And Adam too. All good. Details on Ravelry at some point. I really like this pattern.
Another meathead! Made from one skein of Lamb's Pride Superwash Bulky I found on ebay for all of $2! Love.
The skull and crossbones from the Skull Cap pattern on Ravelry, was my first attempt at intarsia in a long time. It was supposed to be for Ethan and I'm not sure what I did wrong but it's a little too small for him.
Let the cold weather begin!

I LOVE the mustard colored hat...I've got to show Melody this post...
And you can post about yarn and textiles ANYTIME! We here on Chestnut Hill LOVE that sort of thing!!
I have to say, Liane, that I absolutely love your photography perspectives. And it helps that you have three very photogenic models. :)
I wish I was better at knitting! I love the meathead hat in that color; great job.
I made the ski beanie hat for Tim and loved the pattern too. Somehow your pictures are a little bit cuter than the ones I took. Also, great ebay find (and use).

p.s. I really do read and enjoy all of your blog posts, but only have the energy to comment on those that are fiber related.
Thanks guys! I am liking the mustard-y color more than I thought I might at first.
Shannon, it occurred to me to look you up on ravelry last night and befriend you...not sure why I didn't before.
Oh my word is that Drew, second from the top? I've never seen Keith's side of the family so blatantly before! A M_ _ _ _ _ _ to the CORE!
(As opposed to a M _ _ _ _ _).
I never noticed whether you're avoiding using your last names on here, but this is just in case you are : )
Oh, and of course, the hats are great too. Being totally non-fibery myself, nonetheless I never cease to be intrigued, fascinated, and yes, amazed, by all your fibery-ness : )
