So I thought maybe I could just showcase some of the knitting projects that I did in the last few years. And then, I realized that I didn't have very good pictures of a lot of my projects. After serching my crafts boxes and photo collections, I can only find usable pictures of 2 hats that I made last year. The model is no other but my son Genghis.
The grey one in the first picture is kind of like a beanie but I added a little I-cord on top so it looks more babyish. The pattern is a simple cable that complements both the tubular look as well as the elasticity of the hat.
The brown one was made with a multicolor yarn. It's the first time I made a baret and I didn't have any patterns to follow. I constructed the shape by rapidly increasing the number of stitches in a very few number of rows. As soon as the desired width is accomplished, I started to decrease the number of stitches, this time more sparingly. I simply tied the ends together when there's only a few stitches left.
As you can probably tell from my descriptions above, I did a poor job of documenting my projects. I forgot which yarns and needles I used, how exactly I did it, etc. That's why I'm launching this blog so I'll have better documentation of my future projects.
I hope it'll cool down soon and I'll be able to start knitting again!
