So, prepare for a visual feast of knitwear. Or not. Your call.
First off... hats.
Not the greatest picture of a Selbu Modern, but an ace hat nonetheless. My first real attempt at stranded colourwork. Looks better in the flesh, honest!
This Everglade I made for my mum, and am kind of wishing I'd kept it. I don't normally do patterns twice but I might consider it for this one.
Note: the blocking pins and the dinner plate are not a feature.
This one was not for me - even my minute head isn't small enough to fit in that one. It's an adaptation of the Snowflake Hat and the chart I made is on the project page at Ravelry.
This is Capucine. And I wore the hell out of it during the snow last year. I know I look like a five year old in it, but I have little shame.
Another hat for mother. This was highly experimental, no pattern involved, and probably ended up being far too hot to wear. I imagine it's now languishing in the bottom of one of her cupboards.
This was my favourite hat ever. Fitted perfectly, great for fieldwork, etc, etc, etc. It's a pattern called Sixty Cables.
I'm finding this all a bit too emotional though, as it was eaten by a mouse a couple of months back. It still hurts to talk about it.
The mouse is dead now. Revenge was mine.
I'm not so keen on this Beanie Brim Cap. No fault of the design: its probably because I ran out of yarn and the brim's a wee bit too small. Also I was probably a bit bitter at the time.
It's a cat, on a hat. It wasn't for me.
I don't have an updated picture of this sadly, but we abused the poor cat into giving him a body somehow, *and* a bendy tail. In fact, this is definitely the maddest hat I've ever made.
I realise it's too hot in Georgia to wear it, but SEND ME A PICTURE, LESLIE!
INSULATE!
Yes, those are Daleks, and no, as established above, I don't have any shame.
