I just got a comment on the last post about the hat and mitts in my profile picture.
I just did a quick scroll through the posts under "LK150" and "Machine Knitting" and it's not there---I might have posted it before I learned about Labels. However, it's a self-made pattern using the tuck stitch design that's in the LK150 manual. The mitts are based upon several mitt designs out there; that was in my early days of figuring out what I like in a machine knitted mitt.
I recently washed all my winter stuff, and had trouble getting the rinse water suds free. So there were many (hot-ish) rinse cycles...and this hat felted! Didn't shrink too much, but it's felted alright. Oh well, I don't wear it much.
A very similar pattern can be found in another post and there's a link to Ray's site, the designer. I haven't checked recently to see if he's selling the pattern or not. For my hat, I just made one wide rectangle to go around my head, ribbed for the band, then tucked till I got it high enough, and casted off. Fold in half and stitch the top closed (graft) and sew the side seam. Add some tassels...
Such an easy pattern since you don't need to work decreases into a stitch pattern, or transfer stitches.
Sorry I'm not much more help!

Hat in picture. Really I'm a very nice stalker. :)
Thanks Lynne!!!! I was going to go back and try to find it, since I can remember posting about buying the wool, but I tend to get sidetracked, LOL. I've added labels to that post now so it can be found easier. I HATE the way you add labels to old posts, it's such a pain to do, so there's probably quite a few posts that get neglected due to age and no label.
