Holy Crap! I knitting something else.



Yeah, yeah. I know. Koolhaas isn't the only hat pattern out there, but I just Love this pattern. Once you get the hang of it, it's really an easy and quick pattern to do.

Look kids, I actually knitted something!

I haven't been doing a lot of knitting lately. Mostly because I've been pretty busy doing things around the house I recently moved into with my fiance. Unfortunately, I have a new hobby too. I'm knot (get it?) letting this replace knitting though.

Antoinette asked me to knit her a Habitat, but the yarn she picked out (of my stash) is Cascade Yarn Success - 50% SF Alpaca and 50% Mulberry Silk. It didn't turn out quite the way I wanted.

I finished the Brown Habitat Hat.





I also finished another Greenery Hat.

I have been getting a little adventurous with cables. Last week I finished a Greenery Hat and I'm even working on another one. Sunday, I started a Habitat hat.

I started a very cabled hat - The Greenery Hat

I also finished Jagdish's Doctor Who "Muffler"

I finished Antoinette's Old Shale Scarf.

I just realized something. I have been knitting for a little over 4 years.

It has been a few months since I have posted anything about my knitting. Following are a few projects I am currently knitting.

This is a WIP pic of an Old Shale Scarf I have finished - Plymouth Yarn Happy Feet, colorway 10



Another Old Shale Scarf I am currently knitting - Plymouth Yarn Happy Feet, colorway 21


Yet another Old Shale Scarf - Plymouth Yarn Happy Feet, colorway 19


And, someone at work saw me working on my first Doctor Who Scarf and asked me to knit him a "muffler" in the same colors. It is pretty much going to be another Doctor Who Scarf, but not as long


I am also working on more Everlasting Bag Stoppers. And, I ripped out cotton bath towel I finished last year and knit a few smaller towels to use when working out.

While I was in Seattle last week, I got to visit So Much Yarn. It's a little difficult to find, but a great little shop. I just wish I would have had more time to hang out and look around. I bought a couple skeins of Happy Feet though.

I'm in Seattle, Washington this week for work. And, since I'm such a huge fan of the Koolhaas hat, I just had to walk to the Seattle Central Library and take some pictures. I didn't think there was enough light, but these actually turned out pretty good. I'm here with another co-worker, so I didn't want to drag him all over the library, so I'm gong to try to go back there tomorrow and take more pictures from inside the building.

I did another Koolhaas hat. What can I say? I LOVE this pattern.

This time, I did the 10 rounds of 2x2 rib with Knit Picks Wool of the Andes in Coal, switched to Red for 8 rounds in pattern and then switched back to Coal to finish the hat.
