I don't know if any of you have seen the new issue of
Knit.1, inside is not only an awesome interview with Dr. Ruth by
Vicki Howell, but probably one of the craziest patterns I've seen!!! I end up buying knitting magazines on my lunch break at work, and everyone is usually just as excited as me to see what's inside. So everyone is looking at the new
Knit.1 and there it is, The Balaclava! An extremely utilitarian knit, with an almost absurd kitschness. One person, in particular, showed a lot of intrest in said pattern. What kind of person would I be if I didn't give him
exactly what he wants for X-mas????
I had the entire weekend off, two balls of
Cascade 220, and ABC Family showing a Harry Potter movie marathon. What did you think would happen? In addition to decorating our tree (complete with X-mas butterflies and alcoholic hot choclate), a Balaclava was born! I added the pom-pom and buttons from
Hobbledehoy to cute it up a little bit :-)
Currently Rockin':
Artist: The Mountain GoatsAlbum: GhanaSong: Creature Song"The Mountain Goats is the name of prolific American singer-songwriter John Darnielle's long-running musical project. Darnielle began recording in 1991, and has become known for his highly literary lyrics and, until 2002, his lo-fi recording style. Currently, when the band plays live, it comprises John Darnielle and Peter Hughes, but Darnielle has worked with a number of other musicians when recording albums under The Mountain Goats name."- Wikipedia.com

I love the hat! Great color - too cute. Very nice tree too!
I love it! It's really quite neat, indeed. :-D
I'm generally not all that big on green, but that is one nice balaclava. I'm afraid I can't look at any balaclava anymore without thinking about the crazy mohair fetish knitter on ebay, though.
I never make this myself....it is too much!!! Also Hilarious to knit this!!
It looks good on you!!!
The hat is very cool, and the tree looks beautiful. Great work on both!
