Another large Bounce for the dread headed nephew, a birthday tam. This one is just right. Last one seen here .
Size 10 needles from all manner of Noro scraps: 3 Silk Gardens , some Kureyons,a little SuZen cutting out yardage when they (inevitably) went too purply pink, using up one scrap, moving on to the next. The brilliance of Noro colors. I tried striping 2 colorways at a time but in this pattern, where you knit into the belly of the stitch below, nu-uh. Mush instead of crisp.
I adore this pattern, so quick and fun to knit, an afternoon and you've got it done.
Sadly, not every head can rock the style. Want proof ?
(Hey Scout and Wendy! I had to do it. Um..maybe I forgot lipstick...)
Hahahaha! Great photos!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the Haiku. Mr. Noro's color sense just knocks me out too.
Love!
ReplyDeleteI love the color stripage. He can really work it.
ReplyDeleteAh! I love a haiku!! Nice hat too!
ReplyDeleteNah, you totally rock it. But the newphew just a teeny bit more.
ReplyDeleteI love the color combination. So pretty!!
ReplyDeleteThat hat rocks!
ReplyDeleteNeruda (in heaven) is gnashing his teeth in envy. Man was out of his depth with that sock poem he attempted.
ReplyDeleteLOL at how nephew looks like Joe Cool and you look like, well, something last seen on Ellis Island circa 1896 (just B & W the photo if you doubt me).
Also adoring the Red Scarf pix. Real people in real places.

crackin' me up!
ReplyDeleteHa ha, I love it! You just need some dreads, that's all. The hat is lovely.
