Wrapup Friday

Haven't done one of these in awhile....I've finished a few hats...
A hat for a friend's son, who is battling a brain tumor, among other illnesses...this was the first time I've done this type of knitting...I'm not sure what it's actually called..stranded?  I loved doing this!  I already have plans to make a few more hats...there is an Always one that recently was released...obviously the colors are inspired by Goofy
A red, white and blue P_ssyhat...it's very warm! I used leftovers from my nephew's college colors hat and Nerd Girl All American Avenger....
Another hat was my rainbow hat...bought this yarn from a vendor at Stitches United...the vendor was from Canada....the pattern is the Basic Beanie from Patons
I'm still having an issue with my hats being too big....when I first started knitting, they fit...so my knitting tension has definitely loosened up...I need to go down a needle size or two...or actually check for gauge...hahahaha...that won't happen!

And finally, a gift for a friend's daughter's first birthday....the colors are Gryffindor colors...as the Mom is a Harry Potter fan.....
I didn't make an i-cord for the waist, but braided a belt....I've only done an i-cord once before and didn't feel like looking it up again.....it is the first time that I have done duplicate stitch......the pattern is Das Monster by Hronn Jonsdottir.  Loved making these!!!!  Will make them again!

So I'll throw up a link if anyone else has some finished objects to share....
