Here are some hats that I have knitted so far. There are 2 more that I have made but they are being worn right now.
I see that I cute one off a bit and the colors didn't show up the best. The bottom right hat is a heather brown and it is the hat that I made in the class that I took. That was my first ever knitting project.
Well POO - I posted here the other day about Jiffy's pictures, and it's not here!!!!
I said... you are doing a terrific job, Jiffy, and I really like the colors you've chosen! I'm so glad that you are able to use your hands these days to make such wonderful keepsakes!
Jessica - those hats are great!!! Especially for first items made! I see that you've used different sorts of yarns, which is also a great learning experience - did you have a favorite yarn of the ones you've used so far?
And wow - you're doing cables ALREADY?!?!?!? Fantastic!
Thanks Lynne! Yeah they taught us to cable our last week of class. I am taking a mittens class in March. I don't mind any of the yarns. I like the bulky because it works up so much faster but they all are good. I got some alpaca yarn the other day and I am deciding what to make out of it. It is VERY soft!!! The hats I have done so far are wool except the baby hat. That is cotton. I used a lot of self striping yarns so far and I like them too. They are fun! I have a couple other projects going right now but I haven't seemed to get much knitting done since I got the new internet and the new computer. I will knit some today though.
Above is a flower pot I made myself at ceramics. The inside has been left bisque (fired but not painted.) The outside and the base has been glazed with a speckled paint. The pot also has a drain hole.
Above here is an oval flower pot that I made for my Daughter, Valarie, to use as a letter holder. While the outside has been done in stains, the inside has been painted with a turquoise colored glaze. The design on the outside of the pot mimics the design Valarie painted around the border of her bedroom ceiling when we lived at our old home.
