May and Unicorns

Picture
It was so much fun to knit this Unicorn Hat!
The hat itself was knit in the round on double pointed needles. Then I crocheted this beautiful purple horn and stitched it to the top centre of the hat. Then I made these two cute ears. Then the small roses. The last step was a colourful mane - each part of it was stitched to the hat. It was magic!!  The first try was on a snowman on a wonderfully weird April day - it snowed!  The hat was fitting very well.

The hat was made in 2021. 
​
Amelia was 6,5, and Zoey just turned 3. Today 'Zoey the Unicorn' is 7.

February: Florida Tropical Shawl

Picture
Picture
The inspiration came from  beautiful Florida - the sun, the sky, the flowers, and all the tropical colours.
So when I saw the Lang Yarns Tropical in 
Knit or Knot Yarns
(Jupiter, Florida), I knew I could make something from it.

Picture
Yarn: 
LANG Yarns TROPICAL 
made in Italy
3 balls 50g each 165 m
It is soft , light and spun with breathable cotton (50%) and durable manufactured fibers -acrylic (50%). 

Click on image to see the yarn



The loose twist of Tropical keeps the yarn lightweight, while a fun, multi-color ply gives the yarn a cool, dimensional self-striping look.The soft stripes & beautiful drape make this yarn ideal for summer scarves, tees, ¾ sleeve tops, cardigans & modern ponchos.
Picture
Pattern:
In the Knit or Knot Yarns, I purchased the Marmel Shawl Pattern by Brian Smith and followed it except for Section Two which I made in a different lace motive.

Christmas Ornaments

Picture
The 'king' of all the Christmas tree ornaments was a sweater. 
Picture
Such small sweater decorations can be used for a tree or for a wreath.

Often, a sweater was 'accompanied' by a mitten :-)

The colors were different, and, of course, 
​
I used Christmas colors a lot.
