Just in time for St. Patty's Day
« on: February 25, 2009, 07:12:26 pm »
Finally, something in my mailbox that isn't a bill  :D  And it's a lovely color too - "leaf"



Thanks, Steve.  Beautiful job!

And to think I ever doubted you  ::)

I love it!  I'm jealous too.

Good call on the green, Jan - definitely your color.

Speaking of color, Kay and Lori, any preferences?  ;)

Great pic, Jan. Sometimes the post office is quick!

Actually I was wearing my BAHA.

The hat stretches very nicely and covered it without a problem.

I'm not sure if it will muffle the sound though; I should have experimented with that.

Any of the bulky weight yarns here will work: http://www.knitpicks.com/bulky+weight+knitting+yarn_YL30010107.html

The Cadena yarn in Tide, Leaf, or Cranberry (blue, green, or red) works well. I have tried one in Swish Bulky, a softer yarn with more pastel colors, and it is also nice. I am curious what the multi-color yarn would turn out like. Yes, I am getting hooked.  ;)

Ok, first of all, Steve, did you really learn how to do this on the internet?

I was in Walmart (thought of you, Kay!) last week and saw a kit that was called "Teach Yourself to Knit".  So, I bought it.  I had decided when I moved to Nashville 2 1/2 years ago that I was going to learn something new while I was here.  So far, all I've learned is that I had a brain tumor, which wasn't really what I had in mind.  So I've been trying to teach myself... I figure at the rate I'm going, I should have myself a nice potholder by the time I get shipped off to the old folks home!  James just sits there and laughs at me as I'm yelling at the book - "but my fingers just don't move that way!".  Anyway, you may have to run a seminar on knitting at the symposium.

As for colors, I like the Natural - it matches my ski jacket.  And the saffron matches my coat.

Ah, my head is getting warm just thinking about it!

Steve, sounds like Lori is going to give you some competition.  We'll be selling knit hats at our garage surgery business before you know it  ;)

I know it's not my choice, but I can totally see K in a pastel hat; with her blonde hair it would be very attractive.

I'm quite surprised that Lori is going to go with Natural.  I figured she'd pick something colorful (like her), maybe bright red, a deep purple, or possibly magenta. 

I'll be very interested to see the finished products.
