Tiny little tripod alien
So, doesn’t this look like a cute little alien? I’m blocking a new hat over a bowl, but I stuck the bowl on my Joby GP1-EBEN Gorillapod Flexible Tripod (Amazon Link) so I could keep it up off the table surface.

Here’s how it will look once it’s finished drying: Alien with Pom pon Yarn is a Noro yarn I got a couple of years ago, I think it’s called Iro. It’s bulky weight, so hat is a fast knit. Modifications I made: I of course tried the tubular cast-on I’ve been waiting to do. That’s SWEET! Then I decided just to do a 1 x 1 rib instead of to 2 x 2 rib suggested in the pattern – neither of which can really be seen in these pics. Will have to add more views once it’s finished drying and I can photograph it. I’m kind of enjoying the little alien look for now.

Pattern is in the Interweave Knits Winter 2008 issue.
