Skiing hat with celtic motifs

As I baught new skiis I needed a new hat as well.
I thought this celtic motif was perfect for my hat. Knitting it from the center was a challenge for me.

The first round is 8 stiches (2 on each needle). Every next round you make 3 stiches from the corner stiches. This is the chart:


When the chart was over the circuit of the hat was luckily exactly my size. :) Then I had to knit just stright ahead.
Another celtic motif on the ears:


Fixing the endings of the yarns inside (you will have large amount of endings if you do colourwork knitting around):

Knitting another layer inside (I wanted double layers to make it cosy):

This is the result:



It is original and my ears don's freeze!

Scarf weaved on a frame

As my English terminology is very poor in this field the explanations also will be poor. However I hope you will understand. What is needed - a rectangular frame with small holes (every 1 cm) on the edges and 2 extra holes on the corners. Using this you get a triangular scarf.

You begin with the top yarn. Take the left end. Fix it on the diagonal yarn to make a small knot.

So weaving begins. Start from the right top corner and go to the bottom. Technique is very simple - up, down, up, down.

And here it is!

Christmas water-lily

I had nothing to wear on Christmas party. I have my old dress only. Luckily I have heard - it's allowed to wear old dress if you have some new accessory and noone will notice that you have had the same dress on previous party already. Well, I crocheted a shawl and made an organza water-lily to my old dress. I hope that will be enough.
