More hats…
Posted by: Vicky on: 4 February, 2009
I haven’t actually written much about what I’m knitting at the moment and surprise, surprise it is yet more hats.
The possum hat
It’s in two parts – a horizontal ribbed part which wraps around my head, then a piece for the top. I’ve done the ribbed part but don’t quite know how I’m going to [...]

Thought you might like to see this beanie that I whipped up for my brother on Boxing Day.
My first attempt at felting
Posted by: Vicky on: 3 December, 2008
Regular readers of the blog may remember that at the beginning of this year I knitted a multi-coloured hat in pure wool. I was in a dilemma about whether to felt it. Eventually I decided against it, but the hat pattern was for turned out a bit of a funny shape because I [...]

I’ve put patterns of both my Lavender in Winter and Triple Choc beanies on the patterns page of this blog. Have fun and don’t forget to let me know how you get on!
FO: Triple Choc Beanie
Posted by: Vicky on: 19 November, 2008
Finally got an FO to show you. This is my Triple Choc Beanie. Designed by Me!
It’s made with Rowan Cocoon yarn which is lovely and warm and soft. It uses 7mm needles and knits up really quick – you can do it in an evening.
If anyone wants a copy of the pattern, I’ve written up [...]
Gearing up for winter
Posted by: Vicky on: 29 October, 2008
We’re having a bit of a cold snap here in the UK this week and I finished a new beanie for myself.
It’s a very quick knit – it only took me an afternoon to do – and that’s just as well because I had to frog it a couple of times.
I wanted to do some [...]
Parisian Beanie Beret
Posted by: Vicky on: 3 March, 2008
I actually finished the beret over a week ago but just haven’t gotten around to blogging about it. So here it is…
I’m really quite pleased with it and was certainly glad that I went back and redid the bit I got wrong.
It was nice to do something a little challenging. Once I got [...]
Busted beret
Posted by: Vicky on: 13 February, 2008
I’ve got wrong with the beret pattern repeats. Just in one section, but way, way down and it’s affected the whole of the section. I can’t just drop the incorrect stitches and pick up again because it’s so far down and the cable crossover is too complicated for my brain to work out how to [...]
Not quite a finished hat

I made this hat (on my lovely knitpicks options) from Elle Merino Brights yarn, following a pattern in the Art of Knitting. The pattern calls for it to be felted, but I wasn’t going to do that. As is a girl’s perogative, I’ve changed my mind.
Trouble is the pattern called for lots and lots of [...]
Another beanie
Posted by: Vicky on: 14 January, 2008
I finished another beanie at the weekend. This one went to my Mum, who preferred it to the one that she already had.
I used some of the yarn leftover from the Starsky cardigan, which is really warm when you wear it. The hat turned out a bit on the large side though. I’m trying to [...]
