Two For Tuesday

Well, it's about time! Pictures of finished projects!
Project number one:
The Razor Cami!
Project number two:
Cabled Rangoli Hat!



Project: Razor Cami. The Ravelry link is here.
Yarn: Paton's Grace. Hot pink. 3 1/2 skeins.
Needles: #6 circular.
Modifications: I think I made this a little longer. Decreased some on the front armhole, and then did three rows of garter stitch. Picked up 12 stitches for the strap and decreased down to 6 stitches, knit in stst and then increased back to 12 on the back.

The back modifications I decreased heavily from the armhole split to pull the back in a little bit. The fit is really great on this. (And, yes, that's me modeling!)

A close-up of the pattern. It's very, very easy to memorize. And for me that's saying a lot as I like to write and mark off each row. This was super easy! Just took longer than I thought! (Thin yarn, small needles!)

Pattern: Cabled Rangoli Hat (pdf link to pattern here) from Adventures of a Desi Knitter.

Yarn: Lion Brand Wool-Ease in chestnut heather. One skein (with leftovers).

Needles: #7 for the ribbing and #8 for the body of the hat.

Modifications: One. Decreased down to 8 stitches on the top. Since this is a gift, for me, I would definitely make the ribbing a little longer. Very easy knit and a good looking hat! And it's very warm! (Try modeling a wool mix hat on a 100 plus degree afternoon!)

Hope everyone is having a great week!
