I love Flickr. Someone who works there has a sense of humour. I always read what it says on the screen when I am uploading photos and today it was "milking butterflies". It brightened up what was until now a humdrum day.
In my last post I mentioned that I was going to combine some 2 ply and 4 ply wool. Here are the baby hats and a scarf that I managed to knit. The variegated mauve and purple yarn is 2 ply and the other yarn is 4 ply. The hats are different colours because the 4 ply wool is cream on the left and lilac on the right.
All three items will eventually go to a charity for distribution to children in need. I just need to make a few more things to fill a box before I post it. I'm guessing that I will miss the deadline for this winter's deliveries. But there is always next year.
As usual the hat pattern is my favourite baby hat pattern. The scarf is from a crochet pattern that, as a learner, I find fairly quick and easy.
I am always so impressed with the rate you turn out knitted items! I am slower than molasses on a cold January day, thus the long stretches on my blog between posts about finished projects.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I take a lot longer if I'm doing something big or complicated. But these little hats don't take long and the crochet scarf pattern is quick and easy.
DeleteThe hats are adorable and I am sure they will be appreciated.
ReplyDeleteIt’s interesting the way the 2 ply and 4 ply turned out. I like it. I’m going to give that scarf pattern a go.
Such beautiful hat/scarf colors, well done!
