Black hat
Apologies for the shitty image quality.
This actually looks quite nice in reality.
The photo was taken with the brim rolled, personally I prefer the brim rolled down so it's a bit roomier.
I managed to knit a good-sized hat in a day though. :D I've gotten faster~
(Though the fact that I have no life helps too.)

Slouchy Hat
(Click for full-view)
:D New hat!
Used this awesome yarn I got from a yardsale. Self-striping yarn makes me a happy panda.
The pattern I used can be found here: http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEwinter09/PATTshroom.php
And isn't my new styrofoam head badass?!

Hannah's beanie
This, ladies and gents, is my very best friend! :D
I recently discovered that she WILL indeed wear hats.
She asked for a purple/red/blue/green beanie and I delivered. <3
The photo doesn't show the hat very well, but that's because she's 5'10" and I was sitting down. I am lazy. :D
A few rows of 1x1 ribbing, then stockinette. Changed colours every 10 rows. (I HATE counting rows with hats. xP)
Mom's hat and fingerless gloves
Ah, a set I knitted for mom months ago. :3
The hat has a bit of 2x2 ribbing then just stockinette. The gloves are garter straight across.
Blue/grey fingerless gloves
Made these ages ago. Just a simple garter stitch and sewed up the side. 100% Wool my mom spun that we bought from the farmer down the road. :D
Knitted change purse
A simple garter stitch change purse I'd knitted up awhile ago for my mom. A button will eventually be sewed to it, but for now this is how it looks.

Two Recent Hats
Hello thar. :D
Recently knitted up a couple of hats with some scrap yarn I'm trying to use up.
First was this, which I fondly refer to as a "Johnny hat". Johnny being my 19 year-old brother. He's always had an article of clothing with this colouring scheme.
Next was this, slightly thicker yarn that I got while on a thrift store "tour" with the Maleys (who've essentially adopted me over the past year).
I'm just playing around with different striping and lengths of the brim. :D
I got a LOT of great yarn today at a garage sale for a pretty good deal. I'm looking forward to making some things with it.
Currently working on:
- Simple garter stitch fingerless gloves from teal Merino wool for Mom for Mother's Day
- Scrap afghan
- Black shrug in this really soft acryllic
- The Transformers square of Melanie's Christmas quilt
- Well, there's the beginnings of a turquoise sweater that keep staring at me but...
I wanna play with my new yarn damnit.
