Meathead #2

This was the first Meathead I knit. I didn't check my guage and knit it with the size US15 circular and dpns. I knit the small size, but it turned out even smaller than it was suppose to. I had tons of fuscia left over.

The colors in this picture are off. The color I used was fuscia and the granny square is emerald and olive greens. It's dark by the time I get home from work, so I had to use the flash.

The granny square was inspired by a bunch of old granny squares I found while digging through my craft supplies trying to figure out the best thing to put on the hat.

I was happy to join Larissa's knit-along to test knit this hat for her book. The pattern was really great. Nice and easy and fast! I love knitting with Brown Sheep's Lamb's Pride bulky yarn.

I used my US size 17 16" circs and dpns to knit the hat in the round to avoid seaming. It was a quick knit, coming in under 2 hours. I crocheted an anime style vein for the decoration over the left ear.

I'm not sure how the point looks on me, but I like how this hat turned out. This is the first of two hats I knit. The other one is in fuscia and it's smaller because I knit the smaller size and I didn't check my gauge, so it's really small. I'll get a picture of it later.

I took this a couple of days ago during my state fair photo shoot. I'm binding off now, so I'm a bit further than I was.

I think I'm going to knit something for myself before I start any more baby knitting. I bought some yarn for a scarf and I really want to finish it. I also bought some blue and white striping sock yarn to knit some Animal Crossing socks for a costume I want to put together. I might try to knit two at a time, toe up... and yes, these would be my first actual pair of socks. I started one awhile ago, but I've frogged it. Wish me luck!

Another Katja from knitty. I've knit so many of these that this one might be the last one. They are so cute.

I love this green. I'm not sure who this is for yet. None of the people having babies have found out if they are girls or boys. I did buy some dark blue in this same yarn for another one like this. I'm planning on knitting the same pattern in red, as well, because my cousin's fave color is red and he's going to make his kid like red.
