Ketchup and Mustard Monster Hat

I dyed, spun, designed and knitted this hat for one of my best friends. She loves yellow and red together and I thought that she needs a fun and funky hat for winter. I hope she likes it. When I was knitting it every thing just worked out it was nice. He hat was meant to be. I have to make small plush monster pins for it still.
The yarn I dyed and spun. It is called sunspots. About 9 wpi and I spun 4 oz, 240 yrds
It is merino, mohair, sparkle, sequins, and gold thread



The hat was knit flat (because I didn’t have DPN’s) on size 10 1/2 needles and a size K croquet hook. The tubes were knit in the round with 3 different sizes of needles because I didn’t have 10.5 double points. I don’t recommend this. I singled crocheted around all the edges and added the braids. It took about 160 yrds to make that hat.







I plan on posting the pattern for free once I refine it and type it out.

busy busy kyla

I have been extreemly busy with school and hopefull will fave time to post . . .

Stitching Wrists

Wrist cuffs embroidered to look like the inside on the wrists XD
yay!!

I had the idea while embroidering in my fibers class, with my angry writs. ^^

I found a bunch of images on line some from real anatomy classes with cadavers *shiver*
I want to donate my body science or my organs to people. It a good thing.
These images look nice to work off from. . .http://www.theodora.com/anatomy/the_muscles_and_fasciae_of_the_hand.html
it is Gray's not Netter's. I ran to library to find Netter's but it is on reserve for med-students.
Thank good for sister's who are docs and art lovers. Especially medical art lovers. I called her to ask if she had her book, and teller my idea. She was very excited and would like a pair. . . I have to see how they stitch up. The first pair are mine so I can have some healthy writs to wear over my angry ones.

Food and Yarny goodness

fabric and paint chips

Today mom and I drove 3 hours to Feilds fabrics.
God i love that store, well priced quality fabrics. . . something joanns will never understand

I am painting my neice's nersery and the grey my sister picked out clashes with the drapery fabric.
oh dear god it clashes.
It is a very green grey which is hard to work with.
So I found a better grey but i don't know which one they want for their bathroom
I think i found a nice purple , blue and definatlly a good grey that goes with the fabric.
The grey i picked out is more of a nuteral grey
so yah

I have been listening to a lot of german disco and disco nevo(aka scissor sisters, goldfrapp)
