The front now has back-it sure makes fast work on the knitting machine.
I will be joining front to back and then will pick up stitches to knit the sleeves down to the cuff.
That's the idea anyway!
This is how the newborn hats look when I pull all the stitches off the needles
and onto the gathering thread for the top of the hat!
The bottom piece is called the ribber comb-it catches the stitches
and holds them down with weights for the rows to follow.
I am getting used to making these now with fewer moments of quandary!
Once the ribber comb is removed, the hat sits for a few hours to relax the stitches then I seam it up.
I made two from a leftover skein.
I like the almost Fair Isle look of these.
I added one pom pom from this yarn after this pic but I will have to dig through
to find some to match for the second one!
That just continues to amaze me!!!

I love the yarn in the hats. IM glad you showed the machine....Yikes. I'd have a hard time with that IM sure. Kudos to you!
ReplyDeleteIt's fun to see all of your creations, especially how it looks just off the machine.
ReplyDeleteYou are just churning them out. Maybe I need a knitting machine to catch up with my hat count? LOL
ReplyDeleteThose hats are REALLY cute. I love that yarn.
ReplyDeleteThe speed of the machine must be nice... much easier to keep up with the little ones that grow like weeds!
