Knitting

It took about 10 years but I finally learned to knit.  Turns out I was making an incredibly stupid mistake.  So anyway with it being winter and all I've been practicing by making hats for the kids.

The first was for Hazel.  I just did a flat rectangle and then joined the sides for this one since I still didn't know what I was doing.



Then I learned to knit in the round and made this one for John. Though I didn't decrease at the top, just tied it together so the top was bulky and I don't like the way the colors pooled. It's the same yarn as Hazel's but doesn't look nearly as good.



Then yesterday I decided to try my first pattern for an earflap hat. For a first try it turned out pretty good, and actually fits. And luckily the colors did not pool with this yarn.



and it fits Phoebe and John too, so I can just follow the same pattern to make them some
