10 Stitch Blanket

I'm knitting the 10 Stitch Blanket by Frankie Brown. I had a rough start. I can't even tell you how many times I ripped out. I watched you tube videos which kind of help. Once I got the hang of it, I asked  myself why was this so hard to start. Now it's easy peasy. We've been getting lots of rain here in California, so mindless knitting is perfect for now, but I'm really looking forward to casting  on something different.

The pattern can be found on Ravelry, it's a free pattern.
Yarn: Caron Cakes in the Boston Cream color
Needles: size US8 (5.0mm)

Hats

Well I'm back. I've had some health set backs and a lot of work stress. I'm trying to let go of the stress my job causes, but it's not always easy. Knitting and my dog Cisco helps calm me. The place where I work is just crazy. Decisions are made based on the employee's birthday. CRAZY if you have the wrong birthday. Never seen anything like this. I need the job so I go with the flow.

Anyways, here are a couple of hats. One fresh off the needles the other I knit a while ago, not even sure when.                               

This is one I did a while ago, but I just blocked it.

Pattern: The Able Cable Hat
Yarn: Patons Classic Wool Worsted in the Jade Heather color
Needles: Size U.S 7 (4.5mm).

I love this cable hat. It feels nice and soft after blocking.

This hat is fresh off the needles. The ends are not weaved in nor has it been blocked.

Pattern:Sockhead Slouch Hat

Yarn: KnitPicks Hawthorne Fingering in the Wilshire color.

Needles: U.S. 2 (3mm)

This little guy makes me happy.

Happy Monday.
