Evolution of a Hat

January 17th, 2010

I’m working on a couple of hats for my sister, and thought I’d share some pictures of one of them. I used to keep a blog just for knitting/crocheting projects, but I’m so slow that the site only got updated a few times a year and eventually I lost interest in it and gave up.

Pattern: Brioche Hat, Weekend Knitting Link
Yarn: Cascades 128 Super Wash, Colors 817 and 863  Link (BTW, I’ve never bought yarn before that didn’t have names for the colors. Weird.)
Hardware: Size 6 and size 8 circular needles, size 8 dpn’s

Hit the jump for details and pictures.

UPDATE: Finished hat + bonus second hat pictures have been added below. » Read more: Evolution of a Hat

Portland and Seattle

January 13th, 2010

Here are pictures of my trip to Portland to visit my sister Sarah. We took in a Trail Blazers/Lakers game (BOO Kobe), rode a train, bummed around downtown Seattle, and ate way too much food. I took some videos of the train ride, but they need some editing before I post them.
