Oodles of kittens!

Weeell. I found, somewhere, a pattern for a flat-knit cat plush.
Yeah, cue me spazzing. Haha. I canNOT handle DPNs to save my life.
If I can remember the source I'll put the pattern. <3

The verrrry first one I made was the grey and white, based on my best-friend-from-New-Orleans-but-currently-in-Atlanta's cat, Iommi.




I'm not crazy about his face though.



Here he is at his new home!




Then these two I made for my two stepcousins who are currently preggers. My mom said to put rattles in them, but unfortunetly the rattles were giant which made them, especially the slightly smaller blue (sport weight yarn instead of worsted) not very cuddly. :/





I've got the body parts knitted for one so far. Then the tail and part of the head for another. :D I hope to give them to cat-owning family members this Christmas.

RESPECT MAH AUTHORITAH.




Yes.
Yes that IS a Cartman hat.
I tried to make it look as close to Cartman's hat on the show as I could. Haha.
A few rows of 1x1 ribbing in yellow then stockinette in turqoise. Attached is a pompom in a fluffy yellow yarn. I didn't want it to look exactly like a yellow version of Stan's because on the cartoon it looks less yarn-y than Stan's, you know?

Stan Marsh? More like Stan DARSH.




So pretty much anyone who knows me knows of my love for all things South Park.
It was just a matter of time before I tackled the hats.
So obviously, Stan's hat. 8D
It doesn't look too great in the photos from the flash.
Ah well.
1x1 rib in red then stockinette in blue. The most complicated part was the pompom. Haha.

Another new hat!




I don't know if it's because I don't have the stress of school or what, but I've just been cranking out hats like mad!
The yarn was a bit odd... It's stretchy and doesn't like to keep its shape very well. It's also weirdly shiny. But it made for a comfy slouchy hat. Just a simple 2x2 rib to prevent the annoying stockinette curl then stockinette. :D


Hm... what yarn to attack next?

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)
