Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles beanies

After reading this post "Ninja Turtle Beanies" I decided to come up with my own ninja turtle themed hats with knitting. So I took a pattern I'd already worked with before the brown baby hat from the pattern "wool hat" in "easy baby knits"(Claire Montgomery) and added two extra inches to the body of the hat (after the rib and before the decreases) in Avocado color of lion brands wool-ease yarn. For the masks I'm knitting long strips angled at the ends like a rolled up bandana would be and the eye section from the mask I had knit previously. I plan on making three hats and masks (orange, red and blue).

Nacho Libre meets sock monkey

Yay, OK I'm really proud of this one. I started it yesterday and finished knitting it today. I guessed it would have taken me a week to knit. It is the "Lucha Libre" pattern (a Mexican wrestler mask slash ski mask for winter) from the book "Son of Stitch N' Bitch"(Debbie Stroller). I used size 4 and 6 double pointed needles(I knit it in the round even though the pattern is flat). The yarn i used was the lion brand yarn, fishermen's wool, in colors "natural" & "nature's brown".
