More and then more
First one grew... And before I knew it it was done. Oh and then hey look...somehow another one leapt onto the needles. Funny how that happens! The yarn is Squish DK by Spun Right Round in Bug Jar, and the hat pattern in this yarn will be out tomorrow if [...]
All mine
I feel downright devious...the hat pattern in this yarn is coming next week. The pictures are done. The pattern is done. It's all set up and ready to go and I love it to pieces. And now? Now I have grabbed the tiny bits of leftover yarn and am just [...]
Two at a time
Cuff the second is well underway. And it's actually gotten seasonably cold around here, so I'm eager to have them done (and photographed...around here 'done' also includes 'has had proper pattern photos taken') so I can wear them. I'm totally holding the green yarn (it's Silk Cloud by Shibui) double [...]
Just a bit more
Remember the gray hats with the yellow speckles? These pretty things? They're coming out next week (if you want me to remind you when they come, you can make that happen here). But I cheated and took pictures of them back in October when we were in Maine, so I've [...]
Faith
No really...I totally know it looks funny. I do. But I've been trying it on and I have faith in the powers of blocking, and I am pretty darn confident it will work out. I sort of love the way it sits on my hand. I'm finding myself fond of [...]
Chicken
So the hat needed some cuffs to go with it (this pretty much always feels like the go to move in my world...I love having matching head and hand things more than I can possibly explain). But I knew I was rather short on yarn. So I carefully carefully divided [...]
So worth it
Done! And all the ripping (yes, even of lace weight mohair) was totally worth it. The wobbly lines wobble in an ever so much more pleasingly rounded way. The whole thing has retained its endearing rocket ship vibe. I expect it all to mellow out a fair bit with blocking. [...]
Version 2
So the good news is that last time's mistakes mean I knew just what I wanted for this iteration. The green was too pretty to use such narrow stripes, so those are wider. And the curve wanted to be much more evenly rounded. Decreases are underway, and the rest won't [...]
All’s well…until it’s not
Things had been going along swimmingly. The green yarn came (Shibui Silk Cloud in Apple, and yummy stuff it is), wobbly bits continued to wobble, and all was well. Until I took it off the needles and laid it down to really look at the shape of the curve. At [...]
Sunshine
So I don't know about you, but where we are, it's winter and gray and gloomy. And while normally I can deal with that this fine, somehow this year it's wearing on me. The obvious cure is sunshine. And this is about as close as I can get to sunshine [...]
