Anyways my gift had to be less than $15, cute, fashionable, and appealing to anyone who might happen to pick it. So I made this hat:
Yeah the ghetto lightbox leaves alot to be desired.
It’s actually not finished. I still have to find a button which will make it look more like the real one here.
So right. Super-cute hat, check.
Horrible bathroom mirror shot, Check.
Anyways I have 2 more skeins of Patons Shetland Chunky to do something with. And only giving a hat seems sortof lame... So what should I make with the remaining skeins? I originally thought a scarf. But I can’t find any seed stitch scarfs that I like and I want it to match the hat. So perhaps mittens? Or flip top mittens? Or is that toooooo original. Or perhaps I should just buy a candle or something to go with it and consider myself done. Or is this not a good gift? I could make something else entirely – like a bracelet or earrings or something that could be super-trendy… I dunno…
What do you guys think?
Love the hat.
ReplyDeleteHave you thought of a scarf with eyelash ends. Y'know about 3-4 inches of furry eyelash then the body made from the yarn? Made one not too long ago. Super cute.
BTW, I tagged you for a Xmas meme.
He he.
Hey, when are you going to start posting your patterns on Ravelry? You really should. That pink cabled hat was so damn cute! You need to share there as well.
Please no eyelash. No. nonononononono.
ReplyDeleteThe hat is adorable! If you want to knit something else to go with it I would say the flip top mittens would be a great match. If you can find two buttons that are smaller but the same as the one you pick for the hat - even better.
I think the hat is a great gift. And I like the thought of Flip-Top Mittens to round out the set. Making jewelry is a great idea too.
ReplyDeletei think the flip top mitten idea is king. you could do the seed stitch at the bottom band and at the edge of the flap and then it's coordinating, even if it's not quite "matching". :)
ReplyDeleteI vote for really cute matching earrings to go with the hat.
ReplyDeleteLove the hat, it's adorable. How about a swatch bracelet to go with it? Here's the link - I think these are really kewl!

I think you should make mittens as well. I'm thinking that the recipient will be SUPER excited to get handknits, and the more the better!!
ReplyDeleteNo, SUPER CUTE bathroom shot!!
ReplyDeleteI love how the hat came out! I think mittens or fingerless mitts would be great! Just seed stitch the cuff and there you go!
ReplyDeletelove love love the hat, jeanne - it turned out so cute, and of course you knitted it up so quick! i love the flip-top mittens idea, but maybe you should give it all to me instead ; ) j/k...too cute, though, girlie - good job! the recipient is going to be sooooooooo lucky!
ReplyDeleteI vote for either fingerless mits or flip flop mits. Great job btw.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great gift idea! I also vote for the flip top mittens.
ReplyDeleteThat is a supercute hat!
ReplyDeleteLove the hat! I have some of that yarn, too, so I'll be making one soon. I think all the ideas here are great. Anyone would be very happy to receive such a nice gift.
