the blue blog archives: a gaggle of caps

Last class of beginning knitting yesterday and we had finished hats all around. Several of the students even wore their hats while starting new projects. It was so exciting to see them all with their hats on, all knit from the little pattern that I made up. I liked the finished hats so much that now I've decided to use my own pattern for one of the hats I'm making as Christmas gifts. Stay tuned next week for Alison's Beginner's Hat!

I had several hats to finish yesterday as well: the calmer lace cap, the little red ruffled chemo cap, and the phat hat chemo cap.

More hats are on the way. I finally got the count right on the double knit hat (fifth time's a charm!). I'll be making my beginner's pattern for my sister-in-law. And now hubby wants a hat for Christmas. Add another one to the holiday gift list!

The pink ruffled one is my favourite although they are all cute. You do deserve a calmer hat for yourself, they are such fun to knit.

very nice and colorful hats on the boys! and the calmer lace cap looks great on you! I've been wanting to make that hat since I saw your first one. Very nice!

The calmer cap looks so great!!! I love that yarn and am now thinking that I have to make one of those caps. Now to put my hands on the pattern. :-) Or, to make some progress on the other bazillion Christmas presents I already have supplies for.

the calmer hat looks so good!! i have GOT to make that one. maybe that is a hat actually wearable by moi, since the little holes would show that i do indeed have hair under there. :) looks lovely, i saw keep that one for you and make a different one to give away!

I just finished my first Christmas present and it too is a hat. Here I thought I was doing good finishing one and you've got three! The hats really look great; the pink one is my favorite. I'm know some kids are really going to appreciate your work.

Can't wait to see how the doubleknit one comes out... I've always thought that's the coolest way to knit ever, and I know how, but I've never used it for anything. Maybe you'll whip up a little pattern for us? ;)

Alison--what do you think about teaching a double-knit class? I'd go!
P.S.: you must make another calmer cap for yourself!

Those hats are AWESOME. You look great in that Calmer hat...so vintage. I'm jealous. Can I have your curly hair? Muchas gracias.

Dava, I'm not sure about teaching a double-knit class. I've only done it this onece. Well, five times. Hmmmm... I guess I will be an expert by the time I'm done with this hat! ;0)
