Skull Hats

Skull hats have been popping up a lot on knitting paradise,so i decided to have a go,the first one followed the pattern,2x2 rib,and ended up 7" long,more a cap,the skull is a 15 row easy to follow pattern,my only problem was finishing the hat off with dpns,but i did it.
The 2nd hat is more of a beanie,i added to the rib and a few extra rows,did the rib 1x1 much neater,used pu

re wool from spotlight,very enjoyable and makes you feel clever as well.

Yarn knitted up

here is the leopard yarn in 2x2 rib!

Just added to my stash

A couple of pics of yarn that arrived in the mail,the first 4 balls of purple merino,these were a deal from craftsy.com,usually by the time i get the email the deal is over,time difference USA and AUS,but i snapped up these for $13.95.
The next yarn i bought for about $4 a ball from Deramores in the UK,there postage to oz is great,$5.06 for 6 balls,its to make a ribbed shrug and here is a pic of how it knits up in 2x2 rib.
The last,Lion brand AMAZING,i found a scarf i liked that used this and wanted to make a present,the company is Yarn Over in australia,formerly american yarn company.
As the hot weather has hit here now and my hands are running sweat,knitting might slow down.
