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.
