Here's a hat I made with leftover yarn from the poncho:


I love this yarn. I'm considering making another poncho from it (different pattern, different color).

Isn't it awesome? They have it in a nice blue, too.

And here I was feeling all sorts of productive for casting on for a new hat! (And I *might* have it finished in time for next winter.)

One of my very favorite colors!

I would be very interested in purchasing a hat like this, especially if had a foldable bottom. :D

It's one of my favorites, too. The manufacturer misspelled it "fucsia," which I thought was kind of cute ;)

Hmm, I guess an inch longer would make it foldable...

And a nice, tasteful pom-pom never hurts...

Heh. I haven't done one of those yet ;) But I have books that tell you how to do it.

I went on a pom pom kick last Christmas and made them to attach to everyone's gifts instead of bows. It wasn't that hard to make the poms, but trimming them makes a big mess.

I love the pattern on this one. When I tried the seed stitch it seemed like it took FOREVER to get done...back and forth and back and forth with the yarn. But I love the look when it's finished. :)

Kitkat - I hope so ;)

Roxanne - I know what you mean. I definitely wouldn't want to make a sweater in seed stitch ;) I like the way it looks too, though.

Vegetable personalities

At the risk that you'll all think I'm nuts...but heck. I was getting cauliflower ready for dinner and it occurred to me that vegetables have different personalities. In my mind, anyway. Zucchini: the most agreeable of vegetables. It blends in with everyone, but it's never obsequious or false to itself. Sweet potatoes: the grandmother of vegetables. Very cozy and welcoming. Cauliflower: kind of bland, devoid of personality, but it could surprise you sometimes. Like a dull guy who occasionally tells a funny joke at the water cooler. Broccoli: feisty. Like a terrier. Spinach: kind of dour, but a loyal friend. Kale: has a fierce sense of individuality, but like spinach, is a loyal friend. Kale's affections last for life. Corn: this one is kind of a party animal. Corn is still drinking beer and making a mess when you'd like to be closing up. Tomatoes: a little sloppy. The kind of vegetable that needs to be reminded to tuck its shirt into its pants. Cabbage: not invited t...

Eat, knit and be happy

So I went to knitting class today. It was a lot of fun. The knitting cafe was buried deep in the Village, further south than I tend to go, but I found it after a little bit of exploring. The cafe itself was just adorable. Their motto is the title of this post. There was a counter where they sold brownies, tea and other goodies (my attention was caught and held by the nice, thick, chocolatey brownies). Two other women showed up for the class. One of them just got a part in a student-written play (she was maybe in her 40s) and had to knit in a scene while arguing with her husband. She wanted to be able to knit convincingly. The instructor commended her for this, noting that often in the movies when people are supposed to be knitting, they're not doing it right and it takes her out of the story ;) Knitting is surprisingly easy if someone teaches you live. As the teacher put it, "Everyone walks out a knitter." I had my doubts at first, because the Internet instructions weren...

happy birthday e!

[Posted by Bearette's husband until she has Internet access] e was born today! 8 pounds even, a cute and healthy baby boy. He likes to stick out his tongue just a little, and move his mouth around. The hospital gave him a little white hat with a purple pom pom. Bearette is tired but happy. Pictures soon.
