Two-Hat Thursday

A Complimented lace hat [rav link]. In this lovely safety orange (it may even glow in the dark)! I don't know exactly what the yarn is, a cotton/acrylic blend I think. Everyone will see her coming down the street in this one!

An owl hat. This one is who? [rav link]. I did go up one size in needles as this yarn was a little thick, but I have no idea what this yarn is, only that it feels like a cotton/acrylic blend (I think it's the same as the orange) and is hot pink!

Both these hats are gifts for my friend C. in Colorado. She loves all my hats, but since she shrunk...uhm, washed....uhm, felted...two wool ones I made her (even after I told her to hand wash!), I don't give her anything that can't be thrown into the wash machine!

Also, these were both knitted in about a day...so they are a very quick knit and I highly recommend them when you're looking for a quick project to finish!

Another Hat

Pattern: Swirl Hat, from Smariek Knits.
Yarn: Plymouth Encored Worsted, color is very hot pink.
Needles: What the pattern says.
Modifications: I made the ribbing at the bottom 2 1/4", enough to cover ears.

This is the top! It's great, it swirls all together and makes a very neat looking top.

But this hat isn't for me. I'm gifting it to my friend EB (and no, she's not the Easter Bunny) who lives in Indiana and is visiting for the week. I figured she needed a shot of spring color when she goes back! I was going to make her another hat, but as she's coming today, I don't think I'll have time to surprise her, so she may just get it before she leaves. You'll probably see this pattern again, but for me, in the near future. I love the cable twists and there's not a purl stitch in sight (only on the ribbing)! (Thanks to the Munchkin who modeled for me.)

Still working on my CPH, but it's been a few days. I really, really want to get it finished before it's too hot (what? too hot did you say?), yes, too hot here to wear it, but I probably still would!

Just to tempt you! I made these last week (Thursday) and they're gone! Know what they are?
