JemJerrica? You must be a Jem fan, in which case, let me tell you, your sweater is Truly Outragious!

I'm interested to hear what the measurements are as well. I'd love to make this to wear to work. (I'm wearing my parka right now. Not so stylish.  )

Those are beautiful. I was working on this hat before Christmas, but I had to put it down to finish Christmas presents. You've just inspired me to pick it up and finish it. 

Thanks guys. I don't normally post things on here, so it's nice to recieve some positive feedback. I'm not a cape person either, but my sister loves to wear "unique" things. I don't even think she owns a pair of pants anymore, (just skirts) so this was right up her alley.

The pattern for the cape came from knit1 magazine (I believe it was the first issue). The pattern for the hat is this one http://bythehook.blogdrive.com/archive/110.html except that I used only one strand of yarn instead of two. It was really easy for a first crochet item. Just single and double crochet. And I just worked it up using some scaps of yarn from my stash. The fact that it matched so well is a total coincidence. 


Here is a closeup of the buttons. I got them at Walmart of all places.  They had a whole collection of "vintage style" buttons.

My sister has been bugging me to knit her this cape for months, so as a Christmas/Birthday present, I finally got it made for her (and I learned how to crochet to make the hat too  ).

She really liked it. She even let me take photos.

ps, for those looking for the pattern, it's here

i tried to make that hat, and i have no idea what i did wrong, but when i finished there was no way it would fit over my head.  did you use the needles called for in the pattern?

but i have to say, yours turned out beautifully, and i love the green on green.

i made half of that scarf and then gave up. i just couldn't stand any more rib stitch. 

wow. i'd love to see a pattern for those!


ps. southern canadian weather is nothing. i'm from alberta. 

i'm guessing you used worsted weight yarn, but what size hook did you use?


ps, that's a pretty cool hat. i've never had the desire to make something with with skulls on it, but i really like this hat. 

I had no idea so many people were into video on this board. I'm a video news editor, so I see my share of colour bars on a daily basis. But I think I should make this for my boyfriend who's graduating from film school in may.
