A Hat with Cats and a Fair Isle Cap

[Schuee]

I knitted this cat hat for a friend to give as a Christmas present, and the Fair Isle cap for myself.

Both are beautiful and excellently made!

Thank you, Artyczar. I’m glad you like them.

Wow those are nice!

 

[Schuee]

Thanks a lot, Donna. I’m pleased you like them.

Wonderful, both are outstanding! The second is my favorite. It looks really tedious to do.

Those are both great. Changing the colors back and forth on that second one must have been a headache. Well done!

Thank you very much, Joy. I find concentrating on the pattern and colours very relaxing. I’m pleased you like them.

Love the cat hat! Beautiful job.

Thank you, Desforges. I tried knitting the cats into the pattern but they didn’t stand ouy well, so I embroidered them on, afterwards.

Thank you very much, Kay. I’m pleased you enjoyed seeing them. Fair Isle is very decorative, isn’t it!

Thank you, snoball. I’m pleased you like them. I don’t mind the time it takes to knit Fair Isle as concentrating on it is mindful and relaxing. There are techniques that make it fairly easy to knit.

Thank you very much, Anne. I’m glad you like the Fair Isle cap.

These are wonderful! You do excellent work, Penny! The cat hat makes me smile since I'm such a crazy cat person, and I'm enjoying the intricate pattern of the Fair Isle cap. Yay! ❤

 

[Schuee]

Thanks very much, Terri. The cat hat is fun, isn’t it! I knitted the Fair Isle hat with shetland wool.

Beautiful work Penny! Love the complex pattern on that second one.

 

[Schuee]

Thank you, Claudia. Fair Isle does look complex, but I was only using two colours on a row, so it wasn’t as tricky as some designs.

Those hats are so cute.
