First Finished Object of 2010

My very first FO (finished object to all the non knitters/crocheters out there) of the new year is a companion piece to the Chameleon Mittens. I give you the Chameleon Hat.

Modeled by the ever talented Brennan

It knitted up very quickly. Although I had a mild issue with my gauge and hat to take a bit of the hat apart in order to make it deeper. The hat took a little more than one hank of Wisdom Yarns - Poems, color 473. I plan on giving the hat to my friend Upside Dan. I hope the hat fits him fine. I think it will because it fits Brennan just fine and Brennan has a big head.

Brennan is wondering when I'll finish the Raccoon Hat I promised him

Last Project of 2009

So my very last project of 2009 are these "Chameleon" mittens.

Modeled by the talented and slightly camera-shy Justin

They only took one ball of the Wisdom Yarn - Poems. I used color #473. They were a pretty quick knit. Only a thumb was left to knit on one mitten after watching two Bond films (Dr. No and From Russia With Love)

I thought I'd need skein of Poems, but I was very lucky to finish the mittens with only one skein.
