But inspiration can come back quickly. About a week ago I got an idea in my head that I want to knit a hat for my friend's kid. She is a cute 8 year old, and one of her favorite colors is green. I happened to have some left over green wool yarn that was perfect for the hat.
It only took two nights for me to knit the hat. I used Novita's Isoveli yarn with size 5 needles. I made 16 stitches on 2 needles and 20 on the other two. Then I just knitted until the hat was tall enough. I didn't have a pattern, I just kinda went with the flow. I made Scott to try it on since his head is smaller than mine, and I figured if it was bit tight on his head, it should fit her (*this ended up working out great because it fit her just right*). I finished the hat with a big bonbon, crochet edge and a fleece lining. Perfect hat for a perfect little girl (*smile*). Few pics to share of course...
Black fleece lining that I handsewed onto the hat.
Crochet grey decorative edge.
I love making things when I'm inspired.
Jinx tested the hat too. It was just perfect.
Anyway, cheers! Take care! Stay warm regardless where you are (*giggle*).
