More knits~

So now I present to you……. 2 MORE FOs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First up, Sunshine’s Pixie hat!!!

This was taken with bad bad indoor lighting.

And these are taken in the car. :D

Name of project: Sunshine’s Pixie Hat~

Yarn: Left over Malabrigo Worsted in Shocking Pink from my Aussie #3 Swap. And then I had to join another skein to finish the hat. -____-”

Needles: I actually donch remember!

Cast on date: Don’t know.

Cast off date: I finished them in a few days. Was taking a break from my scarf -see below-.

Learned: Nothing.

Modifications: Used a thicker wool then what was given in the pattern so I casted on lesser stitches.

Mistakes: Zilch.

Next up!Â

Donna’s lace scarf!

My co-worker, Donna, went through a rough time recently. I decided to knit her a scarf (she is a scarfy person) in her favourite colours.

This picture was taken when it was in the box indoors. Hence the bad lighting.

Apologies… I didn’t have a good night’s sleep and therefore the puffy eyes.

Name of project: Donna’s lace scarf

Yarn: Cleckheaton Cocoon, 70% Australian Merino , 30% Nylon. Hand-dyed by Vintagegrrl.

Needles: Knit picks 3.5mm

Cast on date: 11 July 2008

Cast off date: 08 August 2008

Learned: Nothing.

Modifications: Knitted one less lace repeat.

Mistakes: Nadah.

I would probably never knit another scarf again. It’s soooo boring. The only reason why I took so long to finish knitting it is because I only knitted on it during my break times at work. At home, I worked on my CPH. :D

I have to go now. I’ll leave you with one picture of Sunshine, sleeping in the car, clutching onto her precious receipt.
