Andes Chullo Hat

Here is a Christmas present for my brother. It is the first time he has said anything nice about my knitting. He is impressed with the detail. I guess all you have to do is use really thin yarn and size 3 needles to impress him. This hat has 168 stitches around. I would have had a sweater complete with the amount of knitting this hat required. It is alpaca yarn from knitpicks.com. I waited to see if he wanted tassels on it and he said no. I do get my tassels caught in the car door all the time.

Christmas

It is nice not be a gypsy anymore and have my own place and present my christmas items again. Here is my tree this year. I do have enough for three trees. When I get my huge house I can have three different trees up.
