Krissy's Hat day 3 and 4!

 Day 3 and 4 of Krissy's Mountain Laurel Tam 
(http://www.willowyarns.com/Product/Mountain+Laurel+Tam.aspx)

Day 3, I have changed the pattern a bit, I"ve added three extra rows to the first color group, white, black, purple, white, blue, white, purple, black, then the white again, its in the ribbing, and then added another row of white between the rows of blue.


Day four, no problems with pattern, its an easy to follow charted pattern. I love this pattern.  Here I've again added more white, then the blue, white again, then stayed with the pattern following the deceases.

Day 2 of Krissy's Hat

I've been working on my granddaughters hat, to the left is what it looks like now. Its an easy to follow charted pattern that I got off  Willow Yarns at willowyarns.com. I have listed the link again below. And I used Krissy's colors of blue, black, white and purple. Here in the picture are just the white, black, and purple yarns, I think I really like this free pattern called Mountain Laurel Tam.

Just Knitting and crocheting all the time

I've been busy knitting things, like a hat for my daughter Amy, one of my own designs. Its pictured on the left here and will be a free pattern on this blog soon. This hat is a longish style knitted ski hat using size 5 and 7 circular knitting needles and a chart. I've also used another of Lion brands eyelash type yarn on it just for fun ( the blue just before the ribbing on the hat). The rest of the yarns are Red Heart Sport weight.

I am also working on  hat for my  granddaughter Krissy, it's at called Mountain Laurel Tam, below is the link to it. I"ve changed the colors to the ones she likes which are white, black, purple and blue. So far its looking good. I'll be posting about it as I work the pattern, next part is to start the chart design. The black I am working with is from Lion brand called Moonlight Mohair in Tundra and the other yarns are Red Heart Sport weight yarn in light blue, white and So Soft in purple using size 7 circular knitting needles. All are washable yarns. Below on the right is the picture of the hat as knitted so far.
