Finished Object: Stovetop Hat


What the What?
A finished object post?
Seriously?
I mean, I have finished A LOT of stuff but just haven't had time to post it all...

That is changing right now!
I finished something and by golly I'm posting it here today.


See, I didn't give up knitting.
September was crazy. As crazy as that out of control jacked up cable up there... I fixed it the next morning


October has been extra crazy with my job and the release of a new code set that is turning my brain to squish.


But, now I have a sweet sweet hat to conceal the squish and prepare me for winter.

Normally I would be sporting my hats come fall but I was at the pumpkin patch yesterday and even though it was raining it was about 63 degrees... not hat weater. Not even cozy sweater and boots weather...

So.
Back to why I'm here...

I am posting a finished object for you all to see, and love, and buy, and knit a gazillion of for everyone in your world.

Why?

Because I'm cool like that.


Pattern: Stovetop by Alexa Ludeman of Tincanknits
Difficulty: Medium.
Love: off the charts

This pattern is fab.
The chart is easy to read.
The hat comes in all sizes from a newborn nugget to a full grown fullback :)

Knit in a worsted weight on size 8 needles it knits up swiftly and beautifully.
Slap a big pompom on top or a cluster of little pompoms and you are all set!

See that little head in one of the pictures. That's Phoebe and Phoebe is so special she deserves her own post, but here are some facts.
1. We officially adopted her after a two day trial run.
2. She is 6 years old.
3. She is the silliest, sweetest, wiggly little thing ever.

The 'To-Do' list...

and by 'to-do' list I mean 'to-knit' list. I'm really really trying to get on track with this list and stay deeply focused. It has helped that I have successfully removed all yarn from the living room and into Mr. Brown's Yarn shop on the second floor. Except for the fact that I went in there the other day with a shopping bag and loaded up. Currently in the sidelines to be finished 1. Ledge Trail Vest 2. Twiggy for me 3. 70 Yard Mitt for my other hand Finished those bad boys last night! this is what happens when you use the 10s burst hands free option on your iphone and you're holding said phone with your chinny chin chin. On the List: 1. Twiggy for a Christmas gift 2. Iris the Gourmet Monster but since it's for a boy I'm calling it Orvil. 3. Great White Shart Shark 4. Bosco - for me 5. Stillhouse Vest - for me 6. Woodsy - for me 7. Three Seahawk themed hats as gifts. 8. Gifts for friends... and on and on and on If you...

Finished Object

I'm not good at keeping surprises a secret...I get so excited that I usually blow it. Well not this time... I knit this sweater for Bump and had the buttons custom madefor it by Buttons by Robin, a wonderful shop on Etsy... She used a photo of Rupert that I emailed her...Rupert is their (Bump, C & M's) family dog... I couldn't post a photo until they had received the sweater which arrived on their doorstep last night... Oh how I wish I could have been there when they got it! It turned out amazing! Pattern: Baby Sophisticate Yarn: Big tweedy Cashmere (lucky boy) Please check out Robin's shop on Etsy I know you'll find buttons you love and she does amazing work!

W.I.P

Bears Barn Owl. We had a hockey game last night and while I'm normally so wrapped up in the game that I don't have time to knit, that was not the case last night. Silvertips have had a rough go and the Red Deer Rebels really wolloped them last night. So I knit. I ate some dingleberries. Delicious. and I knit some more. I have a feeling I'll be finishing this bad boy up by tomorrow and he'll be the star of the retreat. Isn't his color wonderful?
