good morning!
yes..i am up early again.
mr m is on his early morning shift week.
he has one week on earlies and then one week of lates.
yesterday
his car broke down completely
and it looks like it will take a couple of weeks
for the spare part to come...
that means
i am his transport.
the trouble is
that once i'm awake
it takes a while to wind down again
to get back to sleep.
i'm on a roll with these beanies.
i've adjusted the pattern though.
the first one was a bit snug
so i've added on another seven stitches in width
&
another sixteen rows of pattern
for a bit of slouch.
the result is a more relaxed look.
one of these is for my friend steph
{who loves purple!}
&
the other for
someone close to me
whose birthday is sneaking up soon.
{and may be useful when walking on a windy beach
or gardening on a frosty morn?}
i know they look a bit like weird tea cosies
but {trust me?}
they do look better on.
maybe ms s will model hers for me
to take a photo of for you.
have a lovely day!

You are up very early Carol, and obviously well in to your day doing a blog post as well. I am such a hopeless morning person - a habit I really need to change! Love the beanies - bet they do look great on!

Goodmorning to you! I'm having a little glas of wine before going to bed. It's sometimes just too funny, these time differences.
ReplyDeleteThe beanie looks very warm and I love the colours. Enjoy your day!
I on the other hand am up too late and really should be getting some sleep! Love your beanies, just perfect for winter - great colours too.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day,
Xx
My husband was up early which meant I was awake early so had the luxury of reading lots of new blogs - found yours and adore your hat :)
ReplyDeleteYes you should get them on a model, they look lovely! X
ReplyDeleteLovely hat! The colours work so well and look so pretty, and I love the pattern....am fond of rows of garter stitch between rows of stocking stitch, love that textured look!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend, Carol!

Just catching up here Carol :)
ReplyDeleteThese really are fabulous hats ... I love your colour choices for them, and the texture is just perfect.
I do hope you had a lovely Easter x
They look lovely Carol! Sweet gifts :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm on a hat knitting roll at the moment too...trying to get stock up for a Babies & Toddlers market in June!
Have a lovely weekend tomorrow!

Great beanies! It is nearly beanie weather too! X
ReplyDeleteHi Carol, I love your beanies they look really warm and light to wear. The weather is cooling down now and I am sure these will get a lot of wear. The colours are lovely.
ReplyDeleteI am back in blogworld now and have started a new blog. Please pop over for a visit.
