Misses Tam (Reversible Shells)

2010-01-11T10:44:00.005-05:00

.

I made another slouchy beret in the morning, listed it my Etsy store and within an hour, someone bought it! I'm so grateful there are customers out there who appreciate handmade products. I love this design as it makes a hat that is reversible and it can be worn in several different ways. I found the pattern in a 1960's knitting magazine the other day, made a few minor changes and voila! I think I'll try it in other colors, but for now, I did it in green as you can see below:

I'm going to do this hat in wool and a soft yarn that will drape to see how it turns out. Will post more pictures later.

Rook Scarf

2009-12-24T19:05:00.003-05:00

I made a lot of scarves for Christmas this year, but by far, I think this is my favorite. Made it with Patons SWS wool for my sister. The way the yarn self-stripes is perfect for this pattern. It measures 58.5" long by 6.25" wide.

Crochet pattern designed by Sophia Kessinger.

Slanted Stitch Scarf

2009-12-24T18:57:00.004-05:00

Reversible Ribbed Men's and Women's

2009-12-24T08:36:00.007-05:00

This is probably the most verstatile hat! Can be made in any color, any size, and it's reversible. It's now my favorite! I made several of them for Christmas presents and was able to tweak the pattern to make it fit a larger man's head comfortably. It's an awesome pattern designed by Nancy Smith.

My son always wants skater hats, and this is perfect for that. Made one in acrylic and one in 100% wool for him. Here's some pictures of the various colors I've done thus far:

Blue with white stripes for older child:

Black with blue stripes for adult regular size:

Multi-colored, adult size (21" circumference):

For the larger head, both with black crown:

This one was made for a child. You can see the hat is reversible in the pictures below. One has the ribbed look and the other side is a smoother finish:

Below is made with a thinner yarn so the stitches are smaller, but the hat is the same size as all others, just more ribbing, made with Country Blue and Forest Green:

Victorian Shell Wool Mitts

Fingerless gloves in wool. I did the ones below in Moss Heather. Pattern found on Bron's Blog. These fit a regular adult size hand. These were fun to make and because they are wool, nice and stretchy to keep my hands warm, but still functional.

Child's Spiderman Afghan

2009-12-05T12:42:00.007-05:00

Made a couple of these now. One for my grandson for his birthday. Makes a good, but heavy gift! Now this was not fun to do, but very rewarding once it was done!

Measurements came out to 51" tip to tip and 3.25" spider height for the small one, but 53" tip to tip for the larger one. They are awesome!
