Gorgeous! I love the blue hat. Where is that pattern from?

The hat pattern is free and well-written: http://knitology.files.wordpress.com/2007/12/felicityv2.pdf

Although Zeus is fashion-conservative, I hope he realizes that he rocks the very "fashion-forward" conical-bobble look.  I suspect this is because he is so cavalier about his image?  "Sigh!"  It is always the ones who do not care, who always look cool...

Ooooooooooo, I love the yellow ascot!  Did you use a pattern??

Yes, the pattern is from the 2007 holdiay edition of Interweave Knits: "Huckleberry Ascot".  I like the pattern, but the ascot came out too short for me so I extended the length by picking up stitches at the ends and knitting several rows before applying the bobbles.

The fingerless mitts have a twin rib pattern and are free too: http://www.dawnadcock.com/pdf/FingerlessmittensheadbandDawnAdcock.pdf

Hi y'all!  Here's some recent stuff that I've knitted in between the craziness that is life.

Fingerless Ribbed Mitts (yarn is Manos de Uraguay):



Noro Ribbed Headband:


Golden Silk & Merino Malabrigo Ascot (really soft!):


Awesome Hipster Hat by Ebony Butterfly (the blue is Malabrigo and the red is Cascade wool):




Thanks for looking!!  

Aaawwww!  I know most cats don't appreciate hats and all, but that hat is cute and looks adorable on your brood!   

You should be totally proud of this hat!!  I am impressed with how you figured out how to knit the brim.  In the first (I think it's the first) Stitch and Bitch book there's a pattern for the newsboy hat and it has instructions for knitting a brim.  Even with the instructions it didn't make sense to me, so I think you did an awesome job just figuring it out on your own.  If you can provide a tutorial that would be super!   

Really cute shrug: it looks very pretty on you!  Isn't your headband the "Molly Headband" pattern from Interweave??  I love that pattern...I've made two headbands myself.

Beautiful work, snarkymarmoset!  I knit the irish wristwarmers on straight needles and then seamed them.  Would you mind sharing the pattern for knitting these on dpns?  I'm afraid my brain won't let me figure out how to do that!   

Okay.  That is the most unique scarf I have seen in a loooonng time.  I LOVE it!!   

You have a brother who appreciates you hand-knits: how awesome is that?    Your brother will love those, they are so wonderful!  The colorwork is very handsome!
