Winter Storm Hat
Here is another attempt at being creative. The hat fits! I was trying to think of something to practice multiple colors and being a weather freak...I mean geek...I chose something involving winter. So, the hat contains weather symbols. The solid blue are cold fronts, and the other various symbols on the hat are for:
Overcast
Winds of 50 mph
Heavy Fog
Blowing Snow
Snow
Heavy Snow
Freezing Rain

Absolutely genius! This
Absolutely genius! This should definitely be included in the MWK book!
i have been thinking about
i have been thinking about using yarn works as sculpture, but not exactly sure how to begin. it is such a textural medium, and three dimensional and with various size needles, colors, stitches, tensions, there seems to be no limit in creating. i am thinking more toward abstract than realism. any ideas?
I am not always the most
I am not always the most confident person but you guys are so nice! Thank you. Can we have a group hug?
I have it written up on an excel doc but want to have purlyman take a look at a few things in person this weekend. Then I may redo it quickly but then I can post something next week.
What Albert said about organic....I found that kinda funny cause I have started to see things in a different light (at times). The cut on a vase, the back of an old chair, the branches of my neighbors old old maple...and I want to do something with them. I guess I need to do more research on what stitches create what I want to do.
But thanks...you made me smile!
PS...Purlyman...is not flat but a gradual k(#) k2tog.
Attempt? I'd say a

I've been resisting color
I've been resisting color pattern knitting - just not my thing. But this hat is tempting me - I love it and let's talk about even stitches. It's got everything, good technique, good color and good content.

Brilliant and beautiful! This is my idea of organic design: just look around your environment and find inspiration.This would look great as a yolk or band on a sweater.

Hey Rob, That's awesome! I love it. How are decreasing on the top? Is it flat? You should present it to the local meteorologists and get some orders from them! Hope to see you Sunday.
Nice, Hopefully we will get
Nice, Hopefully we will get to see it and you this weekend. I am working on my first Fair Isle for a class I'm taking - and it isn't as hard as I thought it might be. Of course since it is a hat, I get to have loose stranding so it will stretch to fit my head.
