Children's Cotton Hat

Hi! I'm laptitelili, I'm French, and the Children's Cotton Hat is my first knit from the book Last Minute Knitted Gift. I used a dicontinued yarn of Bergère de France (Cotonature), and I omited to do the I-cord, because the hat is a gift for a little boy. It was indeed really fast to knit!

Hello

Thanks for allowing me to join this KAL. I've been wanting to do the lace camisole and the pouch for some time. I have yarn for both, though the pouch can really be done in just about any kind of yarn I guess. The yarn for the camisole is some Knit Pick's Shine Sport in a beautiful royal blue color. I've got several ideas for the pouch, even one that is a heavy weight. I suppose that it will be a quick enough knit that I could do it in all of the yarn I'd like. Hopefully now I'll have the inspiration I need to start.

I found 3 out of 4

I found 3 out of the 4 projects I have going from Last Minute Knitted Gifts. Somewhere in the madness is a scarf I started last Christmas to keep my Honey warm and now I have discovered my house ate it! But the other 3 are accounted for. How's everyone doing? Any pics yet? Here's how far I've gotten:




Hola!

Hello! Sorry I have not written yet, it's been a very busy March and April. Thank you Sarah, for still letting me joining :) Right now I am working on the Child's Placket Sweater. I am trying to knit from my stash, I have mostly acrylic yarn, so this sweater probably won't be a gift or anything. I just need to work on different design elements. I'm breaking away from scarves and hats, nothing is wrong with them-mind you, but I like to be challenged. My first project was a reversible cable knit scarf, so you can just imagine :)

I will be posting as soon as I find my USB cord. Now where could it be...

So Many Projects...

Hi Everyone!
I was so happy to find this KAL! This is one of my favorite books and I've got too many projects from this book half done! I need a little push to finish and this will do it!

Currently I'm doing the leg warmers, the Men's cashmere scarf (using alpaca!), the chevron scarf, and a hat to match the rustic scarf I actually completed! So many yummy things to choose from... Does anyone have pictures yet? I'd love to see what everyone is doing!

Enjoy!

My current project

Hi Everyone,

Thanks Sarah for letting me join your blog! I guess I should introduce myself. I'm Katie and I live just south of Boston in Norwell, MA. I have been knitting since I was little. (And that's a long time ha ha!!!) I am currently making the tea cozy from Last Minute Knitted Gifts, as well as several other assorted projects. I like this tea cozy because I love the "thermal" pattern. It is a great knit to do while you are watching TV! If it wasn't so darn rainy and grey out I would take a picture to show you my progress!

I'm using Mission Falls 1824 wool (my favorite) in a pumpkin color to match my kitchen. Hopefully if all goes well, I will be able to make a few more for gifts!

Have a great day!!!
