I knitted this hat before Christmas. It's R2D2. Fun, right?
- Pattern: R2D2 Beanie at Clarissa Knits
- Yarn: Plymouth Encore
- Needles: Size 7
- Cast On: Ummmm.....December 18, 2011?
- Bound Off: A day or so after Ummmm.....
This was a really easy hat to make and I made it the way the pattern called for, I wouldn't again. That's because I hate duplicate stitch. Next time, provided there is a next time, I would probably knit it flat using bobbins for the larger sections of color. Or not. I mean, how many people do I know that will want an R2D2 Beanie?
Possibly the folks at Volkswagon. Remember this?
I love this one:
I got the biggest kick out of that when I first saw it. Takes you by surprise.
I'm so sore tonight. My PT really beat me up today, but in a good way. At least I hope it ends up being in a good way, but right now? Just sore.
Well, this is not the post I intended to write, but the photos that I thought were on my laptop were not which means I either haven't uploaded them yet or I plain old haven't taken them. Could be either one. I have knitting and quilting and stuff and a giveaway that I won.....
Hey, speaking of giveaways, I have one to follow through on before it expires on February 29. Who gets the three month subscription to Audible.com?
Drum Roll Please! (Burrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.............)
BRITT! Hooray! Britt needs to email me asap with her contact info so we can get this going.
I hope you'll indulge me one more video, but this one is great. You can thank Britt for this, I first saw it on her blog:
2012. Three. $1.92. Back when I was blogging more and complaining about Typepad more I finally figured out how to do a centered, bulleted list. I've forgotten, but it is my mission to figure it out again. I will prevail!


That hat is cute but I agree that it's probably not worth knitting again if it's a pain to do! I love it when you blog, you know.

I was wondering who you made it for. Has it been worn yet?

I tried to watch the clip with the dogs- but I got about 7 seconds in and I had a very sad and confused cat looking at me - so I had to stop!

And here I thought it was a tea cozy. I hope this means you'll be back to show off more of your knitting. Does this mean you'll continue to blog!?
