nuther charity cap

I just loved these colors!!!!
no pattern tho, just my own design. the cap started off w/berocco hip hop which is a real pretty thick & thin wool, followed by lopi, an icelandic wool. I usually cast on any multiple of 7, do a ribbing w/a knit 1 or 2 in the back of the stitch then a purl 1 or 2, depending if I end up w/an odd number "accidentally" (how did THAT happen???) & go for about 3" then just plain knit till I get sick & tired. then I knit 10 knit 2 tog all the way around. then a plain knit row in between. then knit 9 knit 2 together then a plain knit & do this same thing all the way down to knit 1 knit 2 tog, plain knit, then knit 2 together until I'm left w/7 stitches. then just run the yarn thru the 7, pull tight, tie off & waa laa!!!!!

pomatamus sox

it was brought to my attention that some people are looking for those sox.....to be completed too...well you have a long wait. they were hard. & they took forever. as pretty as they are, I won't be completing them anytime soon. now you know. but thanks for asking.

and thanks to all you nice people who commented on the hats!!!! I knit for CIC (children in common) & afghans for afghans, among others, but these 2 take wool items & you all know how much I love knitting w/wool!!!! so I can be whipping out hats & hats & hats, at least until I start some holiday knitting.
