Daves Birthday Hat




I made this hat in a day for my brother-in-laws birthday. He told me he wanted one after I gave his daughter Anna her monster hat last February. I hope he likes it!

Sister Endamen's hat






I made this hat for my favorite sister missionary! I wish I could have gotten a picture of her in it, but you get the picture.

Stats: cascade 220 yarn
Size 8 needles
I made the first part of hat from Race for Life pattern.Then I moss stitched the rest. I used the Retro Girl pattern for the flower. I liked this hat and know I will make more!

Mom's Scarf





This scarf is so beautiful in person. I just kept trying it on and on before I sent it to my mom. It really is an easy pattern and great results. Hope she likes it.

Anna's monster hat





My 5 year old niece loves monsters, vampires, ghosts, and recently kittens (I think Audrey had something to do with that). So I decided to make her a monster hat for her birthday in February. She's so cute in it and hopefully she'll get to wear it more next winter...because it's starting to warm up...yay!

I also didn't have time to fix the stitching on it, it bugs me b/c it's not perfect, but I don't think Anna minds.

My own hat..first thing I've knit for myself!




So, this is the first thing I've knit for myself and I'm not sure if I like it. I've worn it a couple of times but I have to say that the wool is a bit itchy and the hat is a little snug. I'm glad I got that out of my system though because I don't want to knit another one for a long time!

monster pants




Audrey's monster pants (we call them silly face pants so it doesn't scare her) I didn't finish weaving in ends for this picture so you can see some poking out the end of the leg. But overall I'm pretty happy with them. I wish I had had white yarn for the eyes and teeth instead of cream, but I was impatient and wanted to knit the face when the stores weren't open. Anyways, this is the girliest pair of pants I've done, so that's a nice change.
