Homemade Christmas Gifts

Before the semester ended I discovered the Wool and The Gang knitting blog and video tutorials. I found their free Hemingway Hat pattern and decided to learn how to knit! With christmas coming up and no money to buy presents I decided to knit things for everyone. 
It took a long time, but in the end I made 5 hats, a headband, and a scarf just in time to give as christmas presents. 
(More pictures ahead...)



As I was looking for things to knit besides the Hemingway Hat I found a website called Ravelry, which is some sort of social networking/knitting site, where you can find thousands of free patterns of all styles. That is where I found the Gaptastic Cowl (scarf) and Anthropology Headband.

My very first hat wasn't too neat. It has a hole on the top and an ugly seam in the back, since I hadn't discovered round needles yet. 
Here you can see the ugly seam I just mentioned. Hehe. The good thing is that you can just put it on the back of your head, and that way even if other people see it, you don't. So for yourself it doesn't exist. 
And now its time to stop playing around and get back to real life.
