Having completed my hat and afghan, I feel I've earned the right to display some pictures. I'm especially proud of my quick knit hat (a design I adapted) The best part is, it's just a rectangular square you knit then fold in half and sew up (so that the points will cover your ears)! Then I cabled the trim along the front, back and little side bits. The pattern on the main part was something I added to give it a bit of interest, and I decreased the stitches at the top so it would not have the elf-like point (which always makes me look like an idiot).
And my afghan, which became more of a lap blanket after I ran out of yarn. Basic granny squares with a cute little scalloped edge. The colours don't come out properly in this picture, but you get the idea.
If you think those colours are pretty, have a look at my new yarn (for the fair isle hat-scarf-mitten extravaganza)!

How fun - great job!
I WANT one! Please? I'll take whatever colours you have and buy my coat accordingly. You can bring it in Dec. Oh, I want the hat *and mittens?* not the afghan, although it is lovely.
