Here’s my next Hayden

The cool thing about having my five year old take FO pictures is that I can ham it up without reservation. Behold, the Neapolitan Hayden.

Cute, no?

My friend Gayle has finished her Hayden, using Lamb’s Pride, but we couldn’t get a picture in time for today’s post. It looks really nice, however.

Laura-M has finished her Hayden, and has a really funny post about it, here. Nate was way amused. Good job, Laura!

Maddie is just about done with hers. I had a great time helping her with it last night at EB, where it was formally decided that I am NOT a knitting instructor. Why? because I laughed. That’s all I’m going to say here. Gayle, remember to ask me more about this, you’d find it particularly interesting.

Lisa is working on hers. I love that light blue. Let me know if I can help you with sizing :-).

Have I forgotten anyone? Don’t hesitate to remind me. I’m aware of the fact that I forget things. Also, let me know when you’re done, and I’ll move your name in the sidebar.

This is really fun. I’m enjoying seeing my hat in so many colors, knit by many different people.

In other news, I’m seaming mom’s sweater! The sleeves are set in, and now I’m sewing up the sides. If I didn’t have issues with this yarn before, I certainly do now. MERCY! it’s slippery. I am having to be sooooo careful to make the seams tight without bunching them. It mooooooves, sneakily I might add. Stinkin’ mercerized cotton. Love ya mom! I’m hoping to have this to you before Thanksgiving. You’re definitely going to need to wear it with a camisole, so you may want to start shopping for one. Black would be good, unless you want to get a flesh colored one and keep them guessing! Hehe.

    That is a cute picture of you in your hat. Upon seeing so many great hats in today’s post, I think I may do some frogging after Christmas, buy yarn, and re-knit in 5 colors 😉 I’m wearing it with pride (at home) until then, though.

    Laura, Could you add me to your Hayden along? My husband has asked me to comply with a “yarn moritorium” until after the holidays {grin}, so I need to dig into my stash. I love your pattern! I wanted to let you know that I find your health group postings inspiring too. Thank You!

  3. Laura Says:

    Of course, Amy Lu. Thanks, and welcome!

    Laura-M- Your hat is great. Don’t frog, just make a new one!

    Love it! That neopolitan Hayden is my favorite hat ever! And such a good photographer your 5 yr old is 🙂

    Everyone is doing such a good job…I must knit another 🙂

    Love the colors of your latest Hayden. When you get a second, would you mind checking mine out (www.getting-my-knit-together.blogspot.com) – I like it, but I’m not sure I’m doing it correctly. The stitches seem a bit off to me. Thanks!
