My next hat will be a free pattern
i'm in a kooky hat kind of mood. i tried to buy a pattern online but the vendor was very mean to me. mean people suck. so my next hat will be this very groovy free hat. i'll hat it up in a multicoloured yarn, maybe a kureyon, silkgarden or cherry tree hill.

SCARY - Petrochemical Poodle Poncho
hey, check out this thing i made last weekend! how's that to start off your Hallowe'ek? pretty SCARY, eh? let me tell you the whole SCARY story ... i had a perverse desire to knit with some halucious pink eyelash last week, and on saturday i gave in & made a poncho for Patia, the only 2 year old girl child i know well enough to escort on a date to the cadbury chocolate factory this hallowe'en. the thing feels like barbie hair and looks like a molested a flamingo - perfect for a 2 year old! she'll LURV it.
how to make your own eyelash abomination:
4 balls estelle shimmer in hot pink, 2 strands held together, 1 ball estelle shimmer in pale pink, knitted on 8mm/40cm circular needles - used the poncho pattern i posted previously on the site & crocheted a couple rows of double crochet around the neck for the collar. i think i cast on 32 sts with 2 strands held together, but i'm not sure, i'm repressing the memory.
i'd like to say that this is strong evidence that one should not play games with nature, but there isn't anything natural about this petro-chemical concoction, so i won't me able to make the frankenstein analogy. still, there is something very island of Dr. Moreau about it. I think it may be similar to Mr Burns from a Simpsons Hallowe'en special.

communications
hey peeps,
I LOVE receiving your comments and the interactive nature of the blog, but unfortunately I've had to disable the function on the site due to some very dark vibes that i don't think anyone needs to read (and hey, i don't want to be the purveyor of bad vibes, even if they're second hand). anyway, it's probably just the phase of the moon or the alignment of the planets or something and peace will reign on earth as soon as that passes. ;-) in the interim, feel free to e-mail me from your domain, i love hearing from you.
peace out! Haley

News-O-Matic
the new Twilley's Freedom Wool book has arrived - lots of lovely & simple patterns for Twilley's Freedom Wool (red not shown). Just like their Freedom Cotton and Freedom Denim, their wool is very Rowanesque at a very un-rowan price - $5.50 a ball (50g/50m, 8 to 10mm needles).
in other news ...
a preview of Interweave Knitting's winter issue
a new Lopi book is coming out, something i never thought i'd be excited about , but i saw the preview and the patterns are AMAZING! They had a gorgeous coat, handbags, and a totally cool poncho that was very retro and very hip while still maintaining it's very icelandic style.
