So I've started knitting again.

I'll admit it. I don't like do the patterned bits on the hat I started ages ago.

They're fiddely, and slow it right down. I've got to the point where there's only a couple of rows left to do at the bottom of the hat part.So I need to start thinking about ribbing, and possibly switching to 6 needles, or using stitch markers to deliniate were the scarfs start. Bleh. I'm officially abandoning it for now.

However, I wanted to get started on some ideas I've had for Christmas prezzies, so I've started going to the Islington stitch 'n' bitch group again.

Since I can't show prezzies, here's some small hats I've been knitting for smoothie bottles for the Big Knit. Just to get back into the swing of things.
Disguise bad knitting by sticking a big pompom on it!

I don't actually have a smoothie bottle.

It's quite tempting to learn to crotchet little things next.

Ribbing isn't difficult. Honest. Even I can manage that!

I just lose the rhythm. knit two, perl two, for two rows takes me a bit longer than knit a row, perl a row.

A couple of people have said it's odd that I prefer to knit small diameter stuff on multiple needles to just doing plain ribbing.

Yes! Learn to crochet cute penguins!

And, er, it's probably my dirty mind but that second photo looks a bit, er, like a, er, "helmet"...

But it's bright orange!
