Stocking Hat



Stocking hat, pattern by 

Made with Plymouth Worsted Marino Superwash




I didn't think this yarn made a very warm hat for cold Minnesota wind chills even folding over cuff.

Hot Bowl Holder



This hot bowl holder goes right into the microwave with a bowl on it and doesn't get hot.  I used two strands of worsted wool yarn for this project.

Whimsical hat

This whimsical hat was made from a pattern out of the book
'Hip Knit Hats' by Cathy Carron

It knits large so and I had to omit the last two knit rows before the edge.  I made it with Lamb's Pride Bulky 85% wool 15% mohair and it is so warm I think I can only wear it when outside in the cold Minnesota winter.
