ta...daa! it's finished!

I finshed the lapghan a few days ago. Of course I've used it! It's nice and cozy for napping and covering my feet while I knit in the evening. Of course my cats want to be all over it...NOT! Cat hair in knitted fabric does not come out in the wash. Sorry kitties.

I've started a hat for my DD to wear on St. Patrick's Day. It's the Ribby Toque in the latest issue of KnitScene.

a quick knit lapghan

I'm currently working on the Mulit-Hued lapghan, it's a KAL that my CafeMom group is making this month. The pattern is from LBY, knit with Jiffy yarn in 10 different colors. It's the first time I've used Jiffy, I usually work only with natural fibers but this is a satifactory yarn. Of course I changed the colors to suit my personality. I also modified the pattern by adding a garter border aong the bottom because the edges curl under in stockinette stitch. When it's sewn together I'll add a border to the sides too. Two of the three panels are completed, I'm sewing them together as we speak. Here's a pic of panel #1

I'm going crazy...

...trying find a pattern. I've recently seen it in one of my many books, magazines...somewhere in my house! I'm making my DD a hat for St. Patrick's Day. I can picture this hat...just don't know where I've seen it. I've gone through all of my most recent media and can't find it! Argggg! It's a slouchy beret, it has a very wide k2p2 rib about three inches wide and the slouchy part looked like seed stitch, I think it was knit with sz 10 needles, bulky yarn. I'm not in the mood nor do I have the time to create a pattern, I'm hoping I find it...sooooon! Again today I went through my patterns, no luck! darn! Maybe in my searching I'll find a suitable substitute.
