Potter progress

Hermione’s hat is coming along well.  I’m at the first row of decreases so it shouldn’t be long before I’m done.

My Weasley sweater is also coming along nicely.  It’s 16″ from the bottom when unrolled now.

I found a new Ravelry pattern today that I would love to make, but it looks really hard for me!  It’s gorgeous though!

Kitty Ripple #2

My newest project is Kitty Ripple #2, and when finished it will go with #1 to PetSmart to line the kennels of the adoptable kitties.  Here’s my first couple of rows (I’m using the same pattern as last time).  I just wanted to show you the crazy yarn.  It’s totally something old-fashioned but I think it’s fun for kitties.

I say it’s fun for kitties and there’s already dog hair on it.  I’ll have to wash both kitty ripples before I take them in…

current projects

I’ve been working on 2 items, both Harry Potter related (I know, I’m such a nerd).

The first one is the hat Hermione wore in HP7 (pattern here).  It’s really pretty and doesn’t blatantly scream Harry Potter:

 

My second WIP is more obnoxious, or at least it has the potential to be.  I’m making a Weasley sweater (pattern here), and I’m still unsure of whether or not to add the giant H on the front.  In the movie of course it stands for Harry, but since my name is Hannah it would totally work.  But do I want to be that blatant of a fan?  We’ll have to see.  Here’s what I’ve got so far of the back piece:

 

And it’s about 14″ from the bottom, so I’m about halfway done with this section:

 

Can’t wait to make more progress in both of these!  Oh and I also have a sock, but I haven’t touched it in a while:

I managed the provisional cast on toe and then got burned out on how difficult I found it and how slow it was going, so I stopped for a while.

Thanks for viewing my current projects, I’ll update soon!

finished!

The Kitty Ripple #1 is complete!  Here it is:

Plenty big for a kitty kennel at PetSmart, even if folded in half.  I hope whichever kitty gets this blanket is happy!

Oh so colorful.  And there’s another one coming soon — I got another colorway of the same yarn to make Kitty Ripple #2!  Hopefully once I donate them they’ll go into the kennels right away and I can show you the kitties enjoying them.

previous knits

I’m a beginning knitter, and it shows in my projects.  That doesn’t mean that I don’t want to share them with you, though.  Here are some of the knitting projects that I previously posted on my crochet blog.

That’s me in my very first knitted hat and scarf pair.  Very basic for my first try.

My next hat, made of a fun yarn but still a simple pattern.  I was still getting used to knitting.

This bigger/slouchy hat was made from this pattern on Ravelry (a site I just can’t get enough of).  I gave it away to a buddy but I might make another someday.

So those are my finished projects!  Next post will be my WIPs, which I have a few of.  We’ll see!  Thanks for stopping by!
