I'm still ill and tired and aside from working and sitting in my couch knitting nothing much happens. Knitting works better than sewing when my brain feels like this, because I can follow someone else's directions and don't have to construct the pattern myself.

So I've started on the project to make pentagram tams and caps for my coven. First I made the cap version for Inger:




And then a few pentagram tams, this one is for my friend E:


The version with the cabled edge, for Inger:




A cap in the colours of the Baltimore Ravens for Valeria:




A Hello Kitty hat for Maja:


And one for Anna's Alexander:



Brambles, for me:


I've also bought new shoes, from Miss L'fire:

I really love the pentagram tams! Too bad I utterly fail at knitting - but I am trying to crochet a Totoro.

I can't crochet, but I intend to learn, since there are many silly 1940s hats to make in crochet.

I adore and covet those shoes. The tights are pretty awesome too!

They're knee high socks, from SockDreams.

Those shoes are gorgeous.

And I'm looking forward to seeing pictures of the tams.

Thanks. I will remeber to take photos. I think Amanda is going to get a yellow one.

Cool!

I like the "brambles" design of yours (only the first picture was displaying when I commented so I had no idea you had already done so many).

The pattern is free and can be found here (http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEdf10/PATTbrambles.php), if you are interested. I like it a lot and will make more of them.

Baltimore Ravens? Cool. Actually they all look really nice.

Valeria started being a Ravens fan some years ago and have converted all of us - so this year's Super Bowl was a big thing in our family.
