I forgot to renew my domain name, and didn't even notice for over a week that it had expired! Goes to show how well I keep up with things.
Since I'm here, I might as well share some photos of stuff I made recently.
First is "Chanson en Crochet," which is French for Song in Crochet. It doesn't make me think of "song" as much as "creeping floral vines," however. It's a capelet pattern published in 2005 by Interweave Press. It's pink. It was a birthday present for my niece Pinky, who turned 6 yesterday.
I had purchased some cotton yarn online for another project, expecting an extremely pale pink. This yarn turned out to be too pink for that project, so it found a new purpose in this project instead. It turned out okay.
Next up is another hat. I had gone over a month without knitting a hat, so I had to. Did you know I have many hats? Sometimes I give them away, too. I once made a hat by request, for a teacher who was about to vacation in Colorado and wanted something in purple. Here is that hat, modeled by the lovely Miss M, who will officially reach teen status next month.
I used variegated alpaca yarn. Alpaca is supposed to be a gazillion times warmer than wool. Or five times warmer. Okay, it is thermostatically superior to wool. There ya go. The teacher expressed much appreciation.
Here is the hat I was originally talking about before I went and sidetracked myself. It's more of a tam, actually. It's called "Sand and Sea Tam." Supposedly tams will be all the rage next winter. I don't know. That's me modeling it, though. I have bangs again! I think I went bangless for about a decade up until this past spring.
That's it for now. I'll report if my dog runs away again after the 4th of July, like she did last year. She hates fireworks -- the noise makes her go absolutely nuts. It doesn't help that illegal fireworks are a big thing in this part of town.
