I'm feeling much better, thanks for all the well wishes. And that means I had the energy to go and retake the pictures of the knit beanies. They came out a whole lot better this time.
First, the purple "beehive"...
With another view in portrait (for those work better on Pinterest, or so I'm told)...
And just from the top...
"Hat #2" was very popular last week. Here are some better shots of it...
The portrait view...
And from the back...
I didn't do a whole lot of knitting this week. (I did a lot of TV watching and trying to breathe.) But I did get a bit more done on what I'm calling the super simple scarf. And this week I managed to get a picture...
As you can see, it's still on the needles. The yarn is variegated, so those stripes just kinda happened. It's the perfect thing to work on while I'm not feeling well, if I were to want to work on something. (Turns out when I'm not feeling well, the last thing I want to be doing is knitting.)
I hope to have more finished projects, or at least something new, for you next week. As the cold is no longer an issue, this is possible.
My personal blog about the random things that are in my life: writing, knitting, and substitute teaching.

Keep feeling better! That scarf is amazing. And thank you for all the wise, kindly commentary on my blog. It means a lot.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteGlad you're feeling better.
ReplyDeleteLike the colors. Looks like against that stucco wall is your best shot for photos.
A cold can really sweep feet out from under. colors are fantastic, as are your patterns.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Yeah, a cold can sure flatten you.
DeleteGreat job on the hats. You are reallying knitting along! Loving the colors also.
ReplyDeleteWell, not so much last week ;)
DeleteWell done Liz - I like the purple one ... hope you continue to improve - cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteLove the scarf and I do prefer portrait view for some reason hmmm
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I'm rather partial to landscape myself.
DeleteSorry to hear you have been sick. Hope you are on the mend. Love the hats. Especially the first one!!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteStill sick? Lame. No wonder your blog posts have been a bit scarce. Anyway, I really love that scarf, both the color scheme and the way it happened to come out striped.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you're back up to speed. I see you're fingers are as nimble as ever.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are feeling better! The hats look great.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteI am sorry that you caught a nasty cold but I am so glad you are feeling better. Your hats look great and I love that first one with all the designs in it especially the top part. You have been busy despite having a bad cold.
ReplyDeleteThose were finished pre-cold. I didn't get anything done last week.
DeleteScarf looks awesome. I think I have a similar pattern somewhere. It was fun to knit.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's an easy one, that's for sure.
DeleteI must be in a minority, but I still like hat #1 better (I also liked the portrait view, but the "staring down from the sky" view was my favorite - it really showed the shaping) Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI'm rather partial to the purple and the shape of the first one myself.
DeleteThey look great :D Glad you're feeling some better.
ReplyDeleteI love that purple beanie! I took a 3-hour knitting class in November and I now have a new hobby. Although, I think I need to learn how to fix the stitches I missed in my washcloth before I attempt anything like a beanie :)
ReplyDeleteNah. That hat? A total beginner project. You could totally do it.
DeleteDid you have the flu they refer to as the Aussie Flu? I had it last year. It took me months to recover and it kept recurring. Lovely colour schemes there!
ReplyDeleteI wasn't sick enough to have had the flu.
DeleteI love the colors in the hats and scarf. I can't blame you for not working on anything while you were sick. Watching TV and reading are about the only things to do while sick. Glad you're feeling better.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I am.
