Strawberry Hat
Fragolino by Alessia Bartolomeo
: TeDdy's Wool Alpaca, 1 each of Red and Black
and also Vitalgo, Cashmerino (reminiscent of Debbie Bliss) in Green.
Needle: US 6 / 4.0 mm ADDI turbo.
I made this for my daughter, following the pattern which is available for free on line.
came out a bit bigger then expected...did not check gauge, I guess it will wait for her to grow in to it. Love how the hat came out.

MIL's Claptois
In my attempt to burn up some stash and also as appreciate to my MIL's efforts, she does help me, I made her a Hanukah gift. A one skein wonder if you will. A Claptois.
I think this is originally a sock yarn, though I couldn't find the label. Since I didn't have enough for the fringe I had to use some other yarn that matched for the fringing. Still I'm quite pleased with the outcome.
Very soft.
Pattern: Clapotis: Free on line at Knitty, designed by the talented Kate Gilbert.
This time though I decided to Purl instead of Knit through the Back loop.
