I did it!

I finished the beanie! 4ply and all, and a good case of 'knitter's hand' (or whatever you call it after 6 hrs straight of knitting at the conferency yesterday). Once I got past the ribbing,
it was a breeze!
AND she likes it! (de ja vu to this girls blog)

apparently needs some pom poms (I want tassles, but hey, what do I know)


goes great with the hand made poncho

and my quilt- wow, such an enthusiastic look, looks like she's had a hard night out the night before (getting ready for the teen years)


I aslo bought these charm packs this week, from
Retromummy. $40 for 84 squares. Of Brand. New. FArbic. I'm lovin' it. (free postage, too, guys!)

What a great beanie, and 4 ply too. No wonder you had sore hands afterwards. I love the charm packs too, very nice.

Hey that is one cool beanie - the pompoms may just be the finishing touch.

Excellent use of your time.

Fantastic effort and what a great result. Keep on a clickin & a clackin. Maybe she could make her own pom pom, I've just shown my girls how to make them.

Yay for you on the beanie Bec, glad it got the stamp of approval after all that work!
I can't wait for that City Weekend collection to come out in yardage - will be great for summer clothes I think.

A marathon-knitting effort rewarded with a happy girl with warm ears!
