Kasey and Erica's surprise hat

I've decided to finally work on a mohawk hat. I bought the yarn on knitpicks before xmas and was going to make Dallas Cowboy Mohawk hats for the kids. Never got around to that. Mike's cousin is having a baby with his gf. He's in a heavy metal band, so I thought it would be cool to try it out and make one for their baby. I started on blue and then thought, wait what if it's a girl. Had to text a friend to find out the sex of the baby. It was a boy, dang I'm good!! I wrote up a pattern last night on some graph paper. Going to put the name of his band on the sides of the hat with a skull on the top! Hawk is going to be mostly white with some blue splashes in it. I think she'll be due sometime in April or May. A couple of months till Fall and he'll be able to wear it. I'm going to felt the hat and it's my 2nd time with intarsia in the round. Not too familiar with color. I'm carrying over the yarn. I'm sure there's a better and easier way but I couldnt find any information or videos about this online. OH WELL. I figured it wouldn't be that noticeable since I'll be felting it. I hope it really shrinks ALOT! I used another pattern made for felting and it used 60 co sts. I co 70 tho because my design is 29 sts long...so far so good. I'm almost done with half of the name. Hopefully can finish this up tonight....

Here froggy froggy! and apt stuff

HA so I frogged my crochet hat. DANG it! I mean I just want to use this malabrigo yarn! It so soft! I wish it was thicker...I splurged and ordered some new yarn this weekend. Pretty cheap on ebay.

Oatmeal is a boulce homespun. THe seller has a bunch of other pretty colors also but I limited myself! 164 yards for $2.60! I got 2 plus $5 something shipping. A total of $10...not that bad!

The purple is a mill end, looks like lionbrand homespun?? 495 yards for $17, not too shabby...

I've bought so much stuff for our apt. HOpefully we'll be moving in this weekend or early next week. Most of our stuff is black, white, red and silver. Went with Damask theme. Got a bunch of cool stuff. I'll post pics of our place once we're fully in and decorated.

It's been a while!

GEEZE it's been awhile! Just got pics in from our last photo shoot with MISS LENA PAIGE! I updated pics on here. TOO MANY to add so check out my flickr page or my etsy. I'm working on a couple new things right now. Just been pressed for my spare time lately. I've been working on a crochet hat. Maybe make it a newsboy or visor baby hat. I was thinking of adding gerbra daisy's to the sides of some hats. I found some zebra print flowers on ebay that already have a jewel in the middle. Just dont see the point of ordering 12! Maybe I can find a deal somewhere else.
