    About

    I'm teaching myself to make shaped knitting pieces, like the curved horns on these "Viking Helmets." Just in time for Halloween, I responded to a friend's request to make two hats -- one for her and one for her daughter. They wanted to celebrate their Norwegian heritage, and promised "to act tough and stuff" when they wear them! I knit the main body of this hat in the round, using long circular needles and the magic loop technique.

    Accessories
