I Can Cable...

and this is only one piece of evidence to the fact. The month of December I made three men's cabled caps (sorry, only one is shown due to a glitch in photobucket).

The cap below was made by a request from one of my dearest friends and was a Christmas gift for her husband. I also made a blue one for a gentleman from school (he loves to watch me knit and tells me how much it reminds him of his late mother) and a green one for my dad. They are all made with wool blend yarns. The cap pictured is made with one strand wool yarn and one strand silk/bamboo, it reminds me of black licorice. The original (blue cap) was made using "The Wedding Hat" pattern found in Yarn Girl's Beyond the Basics by Julie Carles and Jordina Jacobs. The other two were slight variations of the pattern.

Christmas Creation

The babies and I spent the afternoon working on a very sweet project. It has been so long since we sat down to create together. We really enjoyed ourselves and are very proud of our creation.

Farmgirls, please note the wood pile on the left hand side of this photo!

MERRY CHRISTMAS! GOD BLESS YOU, EVERYONE!

Bragging on Another Farmgirl!

FebruaryViolet at MaryJanes Farm has just posted the sweetest knit cap I've ever seen. This is going on my 2009 "gotta make it" list. Take a peek, I'm so proud of her. http://www.maryjanesfarm.org/snitz/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=27248

Isn't it Beautiful!

Hippie-Chic Hat

It would have been better if I could have gotten the hippie-chicka to model it, but we just couldn't get together. So her punk best friend stood in her place for the photos. The hat is 100% wool with a loop fringe and an embroidered butterfly mofit. Although you can't see it in the photos, the top has been left open like a dready hat.

Inspiration for this great hat came from the hippie-chic herself and the fall/winter catalogue from Gypsy Rose (www.gypsyrose.com).

Wool Mushroom Hat

This great little hat was made using up scrap wool in shades of blue and aqua. The upper portion was worked holding 2 strands together, one of worsted wool and another of cotton/silk. The brim was worked in a bulky weight wool.

Citrus Set...For Me!

I'm spoiling myself here lately. I whipped this set up for myself one week end and then had a ball modeling it for a friend. The yarn was Hobby Lobby clearance, a fluffy synthetic in variegated citrus colors with a variegated jewel toned ribbon running through it.
