I had to redo the top decreases on that blue hat, so didn't get the picture taken until it was almost dark (as you can tell).<br />Actually I am a "thrower." I only pick with the second color when I'm doing two-colored knitting. In a knitting group I used to belong to, one of the women there said I was the fastest "thrower" she had ever seen.RuthieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663411478574192825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-72762329322225142012009-07-13T13:56:30.557-05:002009-07-13T13:56:30.557-05:00Beautiful blue for that last one!

I don't know if people just come in and she gives them away or if she goes thru Mayo or the American Cancer Society. <br /><br />Hi Mama Pea,<br />No fires--but I am getting some hot spots on a couple of my fingers from all this extra knitting activity!<br /><br />Thanks Kelly. I'm enjoying the chance to try out new patterns PLUS cleaning out my stash!<br /><br />Thanks Jayne.<br /><br />Thanks Mama Pea, I was pretty happy with it too--I'm amazed at what I'm finding in bags and boxes that I've collected over the years. I have some other variegateds and solids that will work together, so you'll probably see this pattern again!<br />(My hat model is named Larissa!)RuthieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663411478574192825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-76309902291160417842009-07-11T10:52:46.439-05:002009-07-11T10:52:46.439-05:00I think I like this last hat (the 3rd one) you fin...I think I like this last hat (the 3rd one) you finished the best.
