Once upon a time my friend
Chan wrote a post about her friend
Anne and a project that is touching her life more than she would like. Her project is
SubLYNNminal Healing.
Ann was asking that soft hats be knit for her cousin. Well - since I only seem to knit for others, how could I refuse?
I made the pink hat in a very soft merino wool.
It has a seed stitch bottom band which overlaps and closes with a very pretty button. Ann said that Lynn's head circumference is 24" and I tried to knit for that, but these hats feel huge! However, they are soft and warm.
The second hat knit from a very cute pattern which I found on ravelry. I think it's called the Amanda Hat and if you're on ravelry it can be found
here. Both hats were knit on 6mm needle, in the round. I cast on according to my gauge and knit away. I hope they fit. They will be handed over to the mailman tomorrow.

You are the livin' best. Both hats are very lovely! I haven't finished mine yet... Cleaning and spinning class cut into my knitting time, and Fredfoot called to me...
ReplyDeleteWhat awful, awful news about your friend's cousin. Good thoughts and well wishes are sent her way.
ReplyDeleteThe Amanda hat is a lot of fun. I made one too. The designer

is collecting photos in a gallery on her website (if you wanted to send one in to her) and had a contest. My sister won a special prize... she made seven or eight of them.
What a pretty color! You do such nice work, G.
