the blue blog archives: hats off!

Well, one hat at least. I finished the hat and mittens for my neighbor who's expecting a girl. Yeah, I got to make flowers! I think I'll try to work on the tiger hat today. If I get a couple of these odds and ends out of the way, then I can return to some of my more self-indulgent projects (finishing the crazy continental, continuing the Dale bug sweater and redoing Elizabeth III).

Too cute!

What pattern is this?

I used a free mitten pattern from knitting.about.com and Ann Budd's book The Knitter's Handy Book of Patterns for the hat. And you should be able to find the daisy stitch in any basic reference book, like Vogue Knitting or The Big Book of Knitting.

Cute! "Yeah, I got to make flowers!" - I can totally commiserate, but of course, if we had girls of our own we'd likely never want to see a flower again after a while!

Cute! Great color combo, and I love those lazy daisy stitches.

You are always coming up with small surprises. The set is adorable.

I'm still trying to find information on the Windsor tweed. It's not in the current Tahki color card file or in the current Useful Information book. But I'll keep looking. I have an old Useful Information book around here somewhere, maybe it'll be listed in there, if I can just find it.
