Rosie Hat

I finished knitting a tam style hat for my daughter. The pattern is called Rosie and I knit this along in a class called circular knit lab with Stephanie Japel. I used a bulky yarn called Jiffy from Lion Brand Yarns. I changed the pattern a bit and added an extra twist to one cable for added interest. Unfortunately it is not present in the photos. I used size 7/24 circular needles with the magic loop technique. A really fun, easy knit project I really enjoyed.

My finished pair of steam punkish whimsical fingerless mittens!!!

The green incomplete fingerless mitten was my first attempt that turned out to be too small. I took that one apart and started over. I think my second attempt came out excellent!. I love the two greens together. I made them for my 16 year old daughter but I borrow them.
(wink, wink) The gloves match her army green short waist pea coat style winter jacket.
The blueish green mittens with purple thumbs are a pair I am working on for me. My cat Avna loves to help me knit. I am not a fast knitter, at all.
I love this Craftsy class I am now taking called, Mitten and Gloves Galore with Marly Bird. She is an excellent knitting teacher and has a great online teacher personality that is fun and explains the knitting patterns very very well. Kudos to Marly!!!
