I ended up have 89 stitches instead of the 90, but I worked it our okay. Few mistakes here and there but
all in all I did it! I am going to do another one cause it is such a easy one to do. I knit a row on the flap
part when I should have purl, but it still turned out okay. This is a very user friendly pattern.

















Next I am finishing up my pocketbook slippers.
These are a fun knit.

I ask hubby, what do you think this is, he was very surprised to
see me put it on my foot. I am hoping to get some help on how this
can be knit in the round to elimate the seaming on the sides. I am not
yet good at seaming stuff together.
Here is a story about these slippers that is so neat!

Well, that is the update on my knitting adventures, plain and simple
designs that I can do.
Till next time, Hugs, Dusty

Winter Fun and Hats and Such

Winter Fun and Hats and Such!

Grandpa went outside and made a mini snowman for Makaila, she was thrilled. Grandpa on the other hand came in with a hurting back and went straight to the icepacks LOL....good thing he did not build a big one!

I decided to concentrate on my knitting skills. I found lots of adorable patterns for earflap hats. The pattern for this one can be found here http://knithats.tripod.com/id12.html It was so easy. Next time I will go down a needle size for the rows of ribbing on the brim to tighten it up a bit. See I learned something new already!

This is another version of a earflap hat called the

KY Cozy Earflap Hat. I love it. I did make a few minor mistakes, but it is turning our pretty good. Definitely will be making another one. Pattern was very easy to follow.I will be finishing this one up tonight.
