Elfin Charms

My new book, Charmed Knits, has me enraptured. I'm a total dweeb and I admit it - but a knitting book....ispired by Harry Potter??? Total inner squeal.


The first thing I knit out of the book was an elf hat, for my friend's baby, due in November. I had the yarn in my stash, put on some reruns from the On Demand menu, and began.IT took two commercial-free episodes of Drop Dead Diva (there, I admit it, I love Lifetime), and then a little time with the creative top seaming, but I love one-day projects. I picked The PRincess up from school and brought her home, where she tried on the hat, which is stretchy enough (having been knit in garter st throughout) to fit a newborn or a toddler.

My favorite part is the top, which is very sweet and unexpected.

Next up, a knitted Errol. Wheeeeeeee.....
