I made a hat last night/this morning:
What do you think? Do you like the ball on top? I’m not so sure about it…
I’ve been a knitting machine the past month or so – four hats and four scarves! My aunt used to have a yarn shop in downtown Vancouver but she closed it recently and her basement is still full of crates and crates of yarn. I was lucky to be able to raid it during winter break. Now I just need to apply myself and learn how to make something other than hats and scarves!
Today is going to be a good day, I’m sure of it. : )
Here’s the song (and video) that’s putting me in such a good mood:

nice photos
thank you.
I’ve been wanting to knit this winter, but I haven’t had any time to get some yarns.. Maybe I’ll go out tomorrow and get some :)
Btw, the ball looks super cute!
If you do I hope you post pictures!
TUQUE!

le French name for a beanie or knit cap
I Liked with the ball on top. Old school hat!! Keep up posting your photos, I love them.
Thanks Fabio : )
Cute hat! : )
Allison, I’m envy! you are good at knitting! I tried to knit a scarf once, it turn out ok but nothing to scream about. I want to learn proper knitting! But we don’t need knit hats or scarfs in Malaysia though…*laugh*
Hahaha but you certainly do in Tokyo! You should take it up again as a hobby.. it is kind of addictive though and I know how busy you are!
Great song! So amazing to come across this bc I just returned from India two days ago and visited many towns similiar to the ones in the video. Makes me miss it. Thanks :) And I loveeeee your hat!
Really?? Wow I’m really envious. I would love to go there!
it looks perfect on you, believe me!
i love the hat! and the ball – the ball is the best part. i for some reason consider people with hats with balls to be humouristic people. because there’s something sweet and funny about the ball. keep it! i have been a knitting machine as well…although my project has a slow progress. (read: not finished yet) have a great weekend allison : )
Haha thanks Lea – I’m glad you have that image of people with balls on their hats!
What is your current knitting project?
my current knitting project is also my first one so i tried to keep it simple and knit a hand towel (to use in the kitchen) my grandmother always makes these in a nice pattern where you knit four and purl four etc. it’s not finished yet but i will put it on the blog once it is finished : )
i love the hat ! I recently learned to knit too and it is SO ADDICTING. I found that you can learn to knit anything online, I just learned to cable ! have you been to the yarn shop in the U-district yet? it is dangerous . . .
can’t wait to see more creations . . .
I tried to cable once and found it so confusing! Granted I was using a really fuzzy yarn that was hard to see well… maybe I should try again.
Everytime I walk over by that yarn shop I’m tempted to go in. Its quite expensive though, know of any other yarn shops in the area?
