MY FIRST BEANIE! (That I didn't have to rip apart, anyways...) Made it following the "Boy Beanie" pattern from "The Happy Hooker". That pattern is a life saver - I love it! It's really simple once you get it, and I'm getting better and better with the seams! Made with Pea Green wool from "Vanna's Choice" Lion Brand wool. Vanna White has a line of wool. Like, Wheel of Fortune "Vanna White". Weirded out. But they come in really great colours, so I'm down! :D
Just practicing and experimenting with this one, but it had some issues with gaining stitches at the join. It works well as a colour example though.
Okay, so this one looks freakin' hott in the book. Not so freakin' hott in real life though, or at least when I tried to make it. As one can see, the back has some issues - I gained some stitches while joining, hence why it's so long. I'll try and do it again some time, but I'm not such a big fan of it in comparison to the shell stitch one below that I made up, which is way faster and easier...
This one I just plain love. I made it while watching Atlantis, and it was the first one to go without a seam. I started off with the regular "Boy Beanie" Pattern in "The Happy Hooker", and then decided I would through a shell stitch in to see what would happen. IT WORKED! The shells are bigger on the top row because I was doing something weird, and I realized it, but finished to row, and it worked fine in the end. You can't see it, but the seam looks pretty good too. The best part is - this one sold right away at College and Careers on Wednesday!
This one is my first one where it went faster than anything, and it's almost perfect. It's just the regular "Boy Beanie" again, but I just mixed up the stripes a little. I was trying to make one with boy-friendly colours...CROSHAYDESIGN.COM.... Really neat site. I'm going to try working on a brimmed one next with a YouTube video I found on how to do it the other day... :)
I'm also working on a really cute all black scarf too. It's fun, I'll post photos when it's finished!
Remember - I'll sell, and if you pay postage ship too!
