Flowers Everywhere

June 19, 2007 By Carole

It must be summer because my three most recently finished projects are cotton. And flowery.

Behold:

rev_bloom1.jpg

rev_bloom2.jpg

A reverse-bloom flower washcloth. The pattern comes from Weekend Knitting and the yarn is Crystal Palace cotton chenille and only requires one skein. These make a great gift, especially when you include a fabulous bar of soap. The washcloth will be off to it’s recipient this week.

sunhat1.jpg

sunhat3.jpg

An Eyelet Sun Hat. I just think this is the cutest thing! The pattern is from Knitting at Knoon and the yarn is Tahki Cotton Classic and like the washcloth it only uses one skein. This is a birthday present for Ambrynn – can you believe she will be two at the end of the month? And, as you may recall, they are moving to Florida so a cotton sun hat seems like just the thing.

petalbib1.jpg

petalbib2.jpg

petalbib3.jpg

A Petal Bib. Also, so very cute and also a gift. The pattern is from One Skein and the yarn is Debbie Bliss Cotton DK and, again, only uses one skein. And talk about fast! I knit this on Sunday morning.

These one skein gift projects have been just the thing for making me feel oh-so-accomplished. But honestly, I’m ready to sink my teeth into a bigger project. I think a shawl is coming up next!

    Quick knits are so much fun. The hat will look so cute on Ambrynn. I hate to ask but how soon are they moving? The washcloth and bib are lovely.

    The flower cloth will be a great gift. The little hat is cuter than any other hat I’ve seen in a long time! Love the color and the flowers on it…what a perfect hat for FL weather. The bib is darling, too.

    I know how you feel – I need the instant gratification myself once in a while.

    Any ideas about which shawl you want to start?

    I just started Adamus. Unfortunately I don’t have that much “concentration” time these days! It might be done by Christmas!

    June 19, 2007 at 7:49 am

    I’m all about the instant gratification knitting these days. Ambyrnn is going to look adorable in that hat.

  5. Kirsten says

    June 19, 2007 at 7:50 am

    Oh, so much cotton-y one skein goodness!
    Ambrynn will be adorable in the hat!

  6. Karen says

    June 19, 2007 at 7:55 am

    What an adorable little hat! I’ll have to go have a look at that pattern. The flower washcloths are always pretty and so is the petal bib. It’s definitely summer at Carole Knits! 🙂

  7. Carol says

    June 19, 2007 at 7:56 am

    How pretty:) That is one of my fave books. The sun hat will be perfect for here and protect her sweet little head. 2 Already? Kids grow way too fast.

    I love that book (weekend knitting). The ruffled brim on that sun hat is too cute for words.

  9. Beth says

    June 19, 2007 at 8:27 am

    All of your “flowers” look great! That hat is especially cute. She’s going to look adorable in it!

  10. Liz K. says

    So, I thought the flower petal washcloth would be a great gift idea, too. So I knitted one with some Mission Falls cotton for my son’s preschool teacher, included a couple of bars of handmade soaps, and you know what the thank you note said?

    “Thanks so much for the soaps and the pretty doily.”

    DOILY??????

    That was a bad day for this knitter. Being accused of making a doily??

  11. Kim says

    June 19, 2007 at 8:49 am

    Ambrynn’s hat is just about the cutest think I have ever seen!

  12. Julie says

    June 19, 2007 at 8:49 am

    Well, thanks a lot – now I have 3 more items on my to-knit list! Seriously, they are gorgeous!

  13. Michelle says

    June 19, 2007 at 8:50 am

    I really like those types of one skein projects. They keep me busy in between bigger projects. The hat is so adorable! I need to look into getting that book so I can make one too. Being cotton, the petal bib is not only adorable but functional also. I love it and you do such nice work.

  14. Birdsong says

    June 19, 2007 at 9:15 am

    What great, summery knitting! Lovely colors for Ambrynn. Sorry the moving is creeping closer, though.

  15. Cheryl says

    June 19, 2007 at 9:16 am

    Ooh, what shawl??

  16. Jennifer says

    June 19, 2007 at 9:36 am

    Very cute FO’s!

  17. Kathy says

    All so cute! So, shawl?!?

  18. JenW!~ says

    June 19, 2007 at 9:41 am

    Love all your projects. Love that dishcloth, I am always looking for quick and easy patterns. Hat and bib are cute.

  19. maryse says

    June 19, 2007 at 9:49 am

    i think liz k. should be flattered. the teacher clearly thought the washcloth was too pretty to wash with.

    why bother mailing the washcloth to me when you could have just handed it to me on saturday 😉

  20. Meadow says

    June 19, 2007 at 10:36 am

    They are all so adorable! And fast is always a nice boost 🙂

  21. Cynthia says

    June 19, 2007 at 10:37 am

    Those are really great Carole! It’s amazing that these use only one skein of yarn although it certainly makes for being able to use something really nice and not feeling as though you have to spend a ton. I love the sun hat; it is going to look wonderful on a little girl!

  22. Kristine says

    June 19, 2007 at 10:44 am

    Carole,

    I love reading your blog and truly admire your sock knitting prowess! I have been knitting for about a year and a half, but have never attempted a sock. What pattern and yarn would you recommend for a first time sock knitter? I am a little intimidated by Size 00 needles and thread-like yarns, but would be willing to give anything larger a go! Do you have any advice? Thanks!

  23. isela says

    June 19, 2007 at 11:05 am

    The sun hat is beautiful! It caught my eye the moment I opened my browser 🙂

  24. Rachel says

    June 19, 2007 at 11:28 am

    One skein projects are not only satisfying to knit, but it’s such a great way to use up those oddballs in the stash! I love that sunhat, what an adorable pattern. It’ll be perfect for the Florida sun!

  25. Cookie says

    June 19, 2007 at 11:43 am

    You’ve been busy while we wait for our Summer of Socks to begin. I love that little pink sun hat.

    What shawl? 😀

  26. jillian says

    June 19, 2007 at 12:44 pm

    So cute!! And so satisfying 🙂

  27. Deb says

    June 19, 2007 at 12:51 pm

    Love them all Carole! But the hat just says “sunny day in Florida” to me!

  28. Lucia says

    June 19, 2007 at 1:51 pm

    So pretty and summery, and they do make you feel productive, don’t they?

  29. Monica says

    June 19, 2007 at 1:55 pm

    Hi Carole! How cute is that sunhat! I have been searching for a pattern like that, so thanks so much for knittng and blogging about it too!

  30. Jan says

    June 19, 2007 at 2:42 pm

    That little hat is adorable!!

  31. Kim says

    Those are so cute!

  32. Erin says

    June 19, 2007 at 4:43 pm

    I was thinking about making those washcloths…I just need to find the right yarn. Very cute hat by the way!

  33. Sara says

    June 19, 2007 at 6:18 pm

    Cute summery knits. The hat is adorable! I wouldn’t mind one (without the ruffle maybe)! Really like the bib and I always have friends that are pregnant – that would make a great baby shower gift!! You are so clever!

  34. Tina says

    June 19, 2007 at 8:23 pm

    What great projects! So cheery. And I look forward to seeing a shawl – after you’ve announced it, you can’t back down! ;p

    Instant Gratification…it’s a wonderful thing! Love your “flowers”!!

    Way to go with the themed knitting! I totally adore that little flower sunhat and have queued it over at Ravelry.

  37. JessaLu says

    June 19, 2007 at 9:19 pm

    Cute stuff – I especially like the hat

  38. Debi says

    June 19, 2007 at 9:50 pm

    Hey I live in Florida, I want an adorable hat too! Plus I shower and spill on occasion so I could use all three 🙂

    Really cute knits Carole!

  39. Stephanie says

    June 19, 2007 at 10:19 pm

    Great projects! Very summery and fun. I’ve been thinking a lot about a shawl too. If I had some new addi lace needles I probably would have already started.

  40. Teyani says

    June 20, 2007 at 1:52 am

    that little pink hat just steals my heart away!
    It is absolutely perfect!

  41. Anne says

    June 20, 2007 at 12:38 pm

    What a very cute little hat – Ambrynn will be absolutely adorable in it.

    Yes yes yes! A shawl – can’t wait to see what you’ll pick.

  42. Leslie says

    June 20, 2007 at 6:26 pm

    I just made that sunhat for my 20-month-old niece! Unfortunately, she yanked it off her head the minute I placed it there. Who knows if it will actually be worn, but it was a fun knit. Hopefully your little one will be more appreciative!

  43. Laurie says

    June 21, 2007 at 1:16 pm

    thanks for the shout out!

    June 24, 2007 at 10:22 am

    Your petal bib is very sweet. I love One Skein. Somewhere on my blog I posted a photo of the Petal also, but you did a much nicer job photographing it!

  45. Chris says

    June 24, 2007 at 10:25 pm

    Oh, that hat and petal bib are so cute! Thanks for the pattern info.

    What adorable projects you’ve been knitting. My heart sank for you again when you mentioned Ambrynn moving to Florida. When does that all take place? Have you all considered getting Web Cameras for your computers?
