The “Ripe Pineapple” socks are pau! I got the yarn from MauiYarn at Etsy.com. Her yarns are fabulous. I loved knitting these socks. I should’ve used size 2 needles, however, because they’re a little snug. Next time, Mokihana, do a gauge swatch, you lolo! Continue reading →

Kewt Baby Hat

Posted on April 9, 2008 by Mokihana

I finished the Upside Down Daisy Hat from Itty Bitty Hats yesterday, and am very pleased with the way it turned out. The stem of the flower was a little fiddly, and I thought this would be the first and only hat like this I would make. But thanks to some people on Ravelry, who encouraged me to finish, I did. And I just might make another one! Continue reading →
