Almost there

I have finished the main part of the hat. I am not sure if this is what it is suppose to look like.
Kinda looks like a bib
I still have to sew that together and put the ears on.  Here is one of the ears. I think if I made it bigger
One down, one to go
I could have turned it into a bikini top :-) Not a good idea though. In the instructions, it said to use a seed stitch but with this chenille yarn, it is hard to tell what it is. I would use just a plain stockinette stitch.
This book is not really for the beginning knitter.  It has patterns but not much help.  So if you know what you are doing you might like it. Right now, I don't.

Begin again

Since yesterday was the last day of school, my friend J and I went to Splash Country to celebrate!! Since it is about a 2 hour drive I was able to get some knitting done on my jacket from the book.
I have knitted some other things and will post a picture soon.  (They were baby mittens) However, these were from another book which I will talk about in a couple of weeks.
I have finished the back and am now working on the front and am at the boring..garter stitch until 6 inches part but at least it is easy and realitively untaxing on my tired brain.
