Made this adorable dead fish hat for my eldest son. He picked out the yarn. It turned out so exciting with the pooling of the colors in the middle. Gives it a break from the stripes. I ran out of the rainbow yarn so had to use red for the dorsal fins. I think it made it look better. Off to finish another project.

Kids Sweater
This sweater was going to be an infant sweater 6-9 months, but ended up as a size 6 kids sweater. I love how it turned out! The colors did not pool like I have had in other sweaters. This is a warm/hot fluffy sweater. I hope it is well loved. Now off to finish another project.

Leonard is now complete and alive. He turned out better than I had expected. Had to include a picture of the two adorable monsters. Notice that Harold's mouth has changed. The son did not like the first one and is now content with this one. Now on to knit some more.
Making a bunch of monsters from "the Big Book of Monsters" by Rebecca Danger. Two for my boys and a few others. This one's name is Harold. My eldest son designed it. Deciding the colors, the width of the stripes, placement of the eyes and the "tooths"
