Er, Happy Presidents Day?
I’ve been doing some whim knitting lately. The first whim knit was kind of a bust:
Pattern: The Fidget
Knit in some Caron Simply Soft… I guess the whole point of this project was to display fancy pants yarn. Well I don’t have time for yarn snobbery or just general snobbery in my life, which is another story completely.
I’m just sad because I knew the second I finished it that it was an ‘enh’ project that I probably wouldn’t ever think about but whatever, it taught me how to knit one below. So, yaaaay for learning!
My second whim knit was a little more sweet, since I wear it pretty much all the time now:
Pattern: Hannah
Yarn: Sweet sweet Baby Alpaca Chunky by Cascade.
I knit this in a Sunday afternoon while watching one pretty good movie and another terrible terrible movie that suuuuucked. (Surprisingly, it wasn’t Shoot Em Up again.)
Since I seem to only be capable of wearing my hair in a ponytail, this hat was long overdue. Plus I love any pattern that has buttons! Yay buttons! John and I actually went out on Valentine’s day and shopped for buttons. I’m that devoted to them and he’s that devoted to me. 
Oh yeah, not to be left out. Sax doesn’t usually like catnip at all but she loved Cath’s homegrown stuff.
Also, I’ve come to terms with being crazy, here’s a video of Sax and her nip:
Love your hats and neckwarmer. Which pattern did you use for your neckwarmer? I love the heart buttons!
I made “Hannah” for my cousin and for myself and LOVE it! Such a great idea and long overdue. The pink is really pretty.
Cool hat for the pony tail do. Gotta love it when your honey will go yarn/button shopping with you. It truly is a testament of their love
That is hilarious! The video I mean. Yeah, Fidget is great for plush yarns. That, and it’s written for bulkier yarns. lol Maybe if you double stranded it…. Anyways, I wish I could put my hair in a ponytail, I miss that. Right now it’s headbands, headbands, and more headbands.
Hannah is an awesome hat, and such a pretty looking yarn. I can see I’m going to have to make this for my DD. And love the Sax pix.
Great hat! Sax is a star even if she is high as a kite. Go sax and go for whimsical knitting!
I like your pink hat, it looks similar to one I knit–ha ha!
Sax is really involved, looks like he likes having his picture taken.
What are you knitting on at the present time?
Sax is a hoot! I like the pony tail hat, what a neat idea.
