rings and things I had a little homework for the store to finish up before we leave for Germany next week. First the Karabella side-to-side scarf that I was knitting while reading the last few hundred pages of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.
Oh yeah, there's a matching hat! Isn't it cute?! The pattern ("Ring Hat and Scarf") is so clever, with simple patterning and lots of great colors. And the Aurora 8 is such a lovely yarn: yummy to knit with and blocked out soft and beautiful. Love it!
No, I didn't knit this one. Just a little finishing job for the store: a little seaming, a few edgings, and a good blocking. It's a cute design (the Tropical Tee from Oat Couture). It's one of those patterns that I like a lot more after seeing it in person than I ever would have thought from only seeing the pattern pic or schematic. Looks like a great, easy knitting project for beginners. Well, except for the finishing, apparently. posted by alison at 8:32 am | in

The scarf and hat are so cute! I love those colors. I need to find out of one of my lys's has a finisher, that could be so helpful. Or I guess I could just practice and get better at it huh? :) Posted by: Vicki at September 7, 2005 11:06 AMI really like the scarf and hat and you're right, great colors. I want one of each. Posted by: Julia at September 7, 2005 11:47 AMGreat stripes on the hat and scarf combo! I haven't had the chance to knit with Aurora 8 yet, it sounds scrumptious. Have a great time in Germany! I would love to go back there again... Posted by: MJ at September 7, 2005 2:50 PMGreat stripes on the hat and scarf combo! I haven't had the chance to knit with Aurora 8 yet, it sounds scrumptious.

Posted by: Sarah at September 7, 2005 4:43 PMThe ring hat and scarf look great! I've really got to learn how to visit knitting blogs without coveting every pattern I see :-). Posted by: Dani at September 7, 2005 7:45 PMI love the hat and scarf combo. Will Pop be a part of next year's (possibly) Fabulous February Fixin? BTW, do you have any tips on knitting and reading? I can knit and watch tv, but eyes aren't glued to the screen. I guess that's why I can't knit and read b/c every now and then, I glance at my knitting. I can read a couple of lines and then knit, but not both at the same time. :( Posted by: Liz at September 8, 2005 12:04 PMI love the hat and scarf! The colors are really pretty. I like me some colorful but dark colors! What is the edging for the tee, that makes it so difficult? I'm only able to see it with 1 eye! LOL! It looks like a cute top. Posted by: Laurie at September 10, 2005 12:00 PMNo complicated edging at all, only moss stitch. It's really an easy pattern, finishing and all, but some beginners just aren't up for seaming.
