fun!

what’s more fun than a bear wearing a silly baby hat? not much, i tell you. so here it is…

bear likes hats

the pattern is found here… i used bigger needles though…. 10 or 10.5, methinks. now that i have the denise set of needles, i’ve gotten into a habit of not even looking at the needle size, just grabbing what i think looks right. not sure if that’s a good thing or not.

the evil demon frill monster is still coming along i guess. i really don’t know if i’ll have it done for christmas, but now mom knows i’m making it… so she knows she’ll have it eventually.

i was sick for a few weeks, and wanted something to cuddle up with and i found a shawl that my step-gramma made a little while before she passed. it’s black, and most likely made with red heart, as that’s the only yarn i ever knew her to use. so i decided to figure it out and make one for me. i’m using burgundy acrylic worsted (might be red heart, might be walmart brand) because i had 3 random balls of it, but of course they aren’t the same color. so it’s kind of weird, but i don’t think it’s too horrible. i’m not sure if i’ll have enough burgundy for the fringe, so i’ll have to come up with sumpin.

one of these days i think i’ll make another shawl using the same pattern, but a finer, shinier yarn… i like the pattern that much. once i get the first one all done i’ll take pictures.
