Cable Knit Hat

I forgot to make note of when I started this hat, but I’ve been working on it for a few months, a little at a time. It’s the first thing I’ve knitted in the round. I like how it looks, and I learned how to do a double decrease. The only thing I would change is I would make it a little longer. I wanted a hat that would cover my ears, but this doesn’t quite make it. I was so happy to finish it, that I was not about to frog it halfway to make it longer. Maybe I'll give it to iBob and I’ll make another one for me!

E's Birthday Scarf

I made this scarf for E's Birthday in January.  It's knitted from a yarn called Pomp-la-Doodle.  I found this “yarn” a little tricky to cast on. It took some getting used to, but was easy to knit. It hides mistakes well. :) This pattern said it makes a short scarf at 35 1/2” long. However mine ended up being 32” long, using the whole ball. I even knit a little tight, so I thought it would have been a little longer. It’s a bit too short for me, but thankfully E loved it!

Basket Weave Blanket

This was my first EVER "thing" I knitted.  It's been done for over a year, and I finally got around to taking a picture of it.  It was a good practice in knitting and purling.  I got the pattern from the Lion Brand website, but made it on a much smaller scale.  It fits perfectly on Bubble's doll bed.  There are mistakes in it, but I don't care.  And neither does the doll, who is currently snuggled under it.
