Knitting at the Hollow, More Turban Style Headbands

While Holly and Shannon and I were out at Persimmon Hollow, I had some time sitting in the back of the booth to knit. I worked on a few more Turban Style Headbands, I even have on of these mustard colored ones already listed in my etsy shop.

I'm seeing this mustard color and the turban silhouette everywhere these days and I think the combo of the two is particularly awesome.

Do you like my cone of yarn as a model. :-) She was very cooperative and held the pose a really long time and I worked on getting some good shots.

(one of these mustard ones sold pretty much right away, so I made a second one as quick as I could!)

This next on has a bow made in the same yarn sewn down. It is a subtle but cute accent, I think. This headband is a purple and green twist and really, really soft.

It had been a really long day by the time this pic was taken. :-P

I also made this really cool brown one that looped back on itself but totally forgot to take a picture of it and now it is locked up in our booth until next weekend. Thats right, we extended our stay at Persimmon Hollow for one more weekend. We are hoping for better weather, so if you live around Tulsa and didn't make it out this past weekend, you have another chance!

I apologize ahead of time for what is sure to be irregular posting for the remainder of tax season. I will try and keep on top of it, but I know that there will be days I just can't.

Ridiculously Easy 3x3 hat

So I was on my way out the door to the St. Louis Cardinals game a couple nights ago when I realized I didn't have any purse size knitting on hand. I grabbed a ball of bernat chunky and a pair of size 10 16" circs out of my travel bag and stuffed them into my purse to contemplate at the game. I wanted something so super easy that by the time the game started I wouldn't have to think about it. I feel almost silly sharing this pattern, but I figured why not. So here is the hat: I don't really intend to turn up the edge to make a brim, but my model had trouble keeping it on otherwise. Its really stretchy and should fit almost any adult head. Its long enough to cover your ears, so if you really want a brim, go ahead and flip up the edge. Ok, here goes the pattern: Ridiculously Easy 3x3 Hat Yarn: I used Bernat Chunky Needles: Size 10 16" Circs or preferred method of knitting in the round CO 60 stitches and join for knitting in the round. Work in 3x3 rib for 7 inche

The Illy Cowl & Pattern

I was inspired by the fabulous Ilene of Much Love, Illy and her love for mustard colored accent pieces, so when she very patiently dealt with my first blog advertising endeavor, I decided to send her a little something. I had some designs floating around in my head, but this one spoke to me as really being her style, so the Illy Cowl was born. (picture stolen from Ilene, with her permission of course) Here's a couple close-ups. It's an easy, fairly open lace-work pattern that looks far more complicated than it actually is. It's also lightweight and comfortable on. I played around and took some pics before I mailed it off. Last week I worked on a purple version, which I inadvertently made wider than the original. (Nothing like screwing up your own pattern, huh?) I forgot that I only put one repeat of garter rows between the lace repeats, oh well. The mix up caused me to run out of yarn in the middle of THE VERY LAST ROW. Sooooo frustrating! And it was during

GIVEAWAY!!!

As many of you know, I love working with hand dyed yarn. I especially love Farm Girl Fiber yarn! Bridgette has an eye for color and has a lot of fun with what she does. That is why I am so super thrilled that Farm Girl Fiber is sponsoring this giveaway in honor of my opening an etsy shop! Before the goods, a recap: I made this Acorn Head hooded cowl for myself on Christmas this year. I've known pretty much since I bought the yarn exactly what it was going to be, I just had to find time to do it. This cowl was out of my FGF birthday yarn! You can't tell in the picture, but it has just this hind of sparkle to it. Love! I made 2 of these for two different swaps and I really wish I had made and kept one for myself while she still had the yarn! It was so super soft and super bulky and fantastic! Sometimes Farm Girl Fiber has very limited lots of things, so if you find something you love, you really need to snatch it up. My whole Monday night knitting group went mad ov
