Light House Ski Hat update needs picture

 I've started on my hat following the pattern and chart that finished.  I've done the grass, the hill and part of the lighthouse with some birds and clouds in it I still have a lot to go and there are a lot of thread ends I have to weave in when done, but it's starting to take shape

Light House Ski Hat

 I decided to make another ski hat, I'm going to use eyelash yarns, a fluffy white yarn, and regular colors to make it. I'm going to put a lighthouse in it on a brown and green grassy hill with birds and clouds in the sky. Below is a picture of the start of this, I have all the yarns and the needles and just need to work out the details on the pattern and write it out  because I drew it out first, the colors are brighter in the picture. I will up date you as I go.

Knitted Hats

 I like to knit hats, and found a way to knit them easier using the Sentro knitting machine. Below are a few I have made.  Most all are 130 rows. You can get the  machine on Amazon for about 46.00, which is what I paid for mine.
