The Miranda Hat

~ Life of Momma B ~ Leave a comment

A new week is here and summer is slipping away. My summer is slammed packed with activities, but I am trying to catch up on sharing some of my older projects.  Today I am sharing a hat I made for my niece.

Miranda hat

I obtained the pattern from the blog Project Stash. The pattern can be found here.

For this hat I opted to use some Red Heart Super Saver acrylic yarn in “Pretty ‘N Pink”.  I loved the pattern of this hat. It knitted up fairly quickly and had just enough variations to keep me interested.

The pattern writer said that it could be made with one skein of yarn. I totally agree I even had enough left over to make a quick headband for my daughter.

Snood, Take 2

In April, I showed you the Snood I made for my niece. (See the post here).

While visiting her this summer, she requested I make her another one.

Purple Snood

I used the same Snowflake Pattern, but this time I made the small snood. I believe it fits much better. I used Caron Simply Soft Party yarn in Purple Sparkle from my stash.

She loves it and wears it to ice skating lessons.

UPDATE: It has come to my attention that the link to the Snowflake Snood Pattern by Lucia R. Hicks is no longer available.

July Dishcloth

Here it is July. I can hardly believe summer is almost half over. My determination to knit a different dishcloth each month to include in my Christmas gift sets continues.

July Dishcloth

For this dishcloth I used my trusty size 6 needles and a skein of Bernat 100% cotton yarn. The color is “Torrent” or navy blue for those of us who are less technical. The pattern is by Emily Jagos, and can be found for free here.

Hope you enjoy and happy knitting.

One Fish, Two Fish…

I know I have been awol lately. I just can’t seem to get in the grove of life.

But I do have a project to share with you.

Fish

The pattern is another one from Stana’s Critters. You may remember the Teddy Blanket and the Puppy Blanket that I made using her patterns. For this project you will need two different colors of yarn.

 

If you would like more info on this cute fish, the pattern is available here.
