Close up of the garter. She knits such even stitches...she really likes chunky weight yarns.
Isn't the colors here just awesome....looks like Noro huh...
This picture can kinda give it away....it doesn't look too wooly does it?
Enter me, um..like just last week. Mom, where's Sis's scarf? "In the box ready to be shipped to her...eeeek! She forgot I was planning on knitting a hat for her. So out of the box it comes and off I go to hopefully find another matching skein.
As you can see I did.
I really love this color combination! Wish it was mine.. Sister in law is highly allergic to wool, so whenever I knit for her I'm always looking for a nice substitute. I really didn't mind knitting with it. It is a 2 ply and you know how sometimes those 2 plys can mess with you. It is pretty soft too, especially knit up.
Look at the top of that hat! Love how perfectly the colors stripe and sigh...just how the decreases look. Heck, they should look good, I had to do them 3 times! Totally my fault, but the pattern doesn't have stitch counts for the decreases, I so depend on stitchcountdecreases...yeah my crutch I know ;)
I'm really happy how the patterning still showed. I was afraid it would be lost in the striping of the yarn, but I think it just enhances it. Those big cabley like stitches are just saying "bam!" can you see me now!

That's an awesome set! Sad about your MiL's hands. My mom is in the same situation. But she can still crochet at least.
That is an AWESOME hat. Good job on the knitting!
Holy smokes, that yarn AND hat are just awesome! Very nicely done. "Team Z" Tag-Team for the win!
What a gorgeous set!! And that last picture of DD, she looks fantastic! A model indeed!!
Sorry to hear about your MIL's hands...such a great scarf she knit!
That really turned out great, Z! The colors look really nice on DD, though I'm sure she doesn't want to hear that. ;-)
