We went to a holiday party today and I worked some more on my son’s neck down pullover. We had to drive about an hour each way so I was able to get quite a bit done. I think I do much better as a passenger in the car when I’m knitting. I seem to have some real control issues when it comes to riding in the car. I think they are from the car accent I was involved in when I was in high school and the car I was a passenger in flipped over.

The party was nice and the kids had a good time playing with the other kids at the party. On the way home we stopped at Ikea and picked up a few little things, including a basket I am going to make a liner for so that my daughter can keep her knitting supplies in it.

Last night I went out and bought a new deep purple top to wear to hubby’s workplace holiday party. I didn’t really have any accessories to wear with it so I stopped at JoAnn’s (LYS was already closed) and picked up 2 skeins of Pattons Allure and of Sensations Willow (an exclusive yarn brand only sold at JA). I started a scarf using a strand of each but half way thru the first skein realized it was too much, so I ripped it out and restared with just the skein of Willow (a ribbon yarn). I bound off the scarf tonight as we pulled up to the party. I really like how it turned out and my mom wants me to make one for a friend of hers, but not till after the holidays. The party was a lot of fun and DH won $100 in gift certificates to a local resturant.

Hat Pattern Generators

Knitting

Last night I started the Handpaint Hat. Talk about an ordeal . . .

I started the hat using three strands of Cascade 220 and then switched to the Yukon as indicated in the pattern. About six rounds into the Yukon I realized that because although it is bulky it does not have the texture of the Point 5 recommended in the pattern and the garter stitch does not look right. I also realized the thee strands of Cascade 220 wasn’t quite bulky enough. I ripped out the whole thing and started over.

Four strands of Cascade 220 ended up being perfect and the stockinette stitch looks much better IMO. I’m about 40% done with the hat and I think I’ll be able to finish it tonight.

Yup, I finished it! Here is a pic with Bug modeling it.

You can’t see it in this pic, but the top of the hat is the same color as the roll brim.

I finally bit the bullet and went and got my hair cut. Hubby gave me a gift card to a shee-shee salon last Valentine’s Day and I finally used it. My hair was down to my mid back this morning now it barely reaches my chin in the front and the back is much shorter. I really like it, but then again it is just hair and it would grow back if I didn’t. The stylist put my hair into a ponytail and cut it off so my hair could be donated to Locks of Love at my request. Hubby was not very happy about me going to get my hair cut but he really liked it when I got home.
