here and there…
While this blog has sat neglected all weekend, we spent a good portion of our weekend either playing World of Warcraft (or, WoW), GTA:San Andreas, or Half-Life 2.
Actually, the last two, he played, I did other stuff. If he played GTA:SA, I would probably be sitting on the couch next to him, knitting. If he played Half-Life 2, I’d probably be playing WoW. My night-elf is level 13 right now. My pet companion is a big green spider. (Ironic, considering spiders give me the heebie-jeebies). Maybe I should get a screenshot of them before Blizzard decides to shut down the beta testing and wipes the characters. :cheese:
I did get the baby sweater for the SIL’s kidlet done. Well, finished knitting, anyway. I still have to weave in the ends & attach the buttons. Then I made a matching hat. Got that done in like, two hours. It’s funny, that hat. It looks like it wouldn’t fit on my cat’s head, but it’s actually really stretchy. Just k3, p3 for several rows, then start shaping for the top. To be fair, while it’s really a generic pattern, I have to admit I got the idea from Wendy. She posted the pattern there, I figured it would make a good hat for a baby, too. All I did to adjust was use size 6 needles and baby yarn (or sport weight). The nbr of stitches is the same (72), although I didn’t knit up 10 inches of length before shaping… probably more like six.
Next up, in addition to the blanket for the same baby the sweater & hat are for, is a matching hat for the mint green sweater that I’ll be giving to my sister’s baby. Will probably use the same pattern. The yarn for this is a little heavier, probably between sport & worsted, but since my sister’s daughter is almost six months old, a little larger of a hat will be ok, that way she’ll be able to grow into it.
I’ll probably just go on a hat making spree… I have yarn I can use to make my nephew & other two nieces some hats, too. Hats are quick & easy, and I’m sure the kids will probably like them. Or not, but I’ll make them anyway. 😊
