I enjoyed knitting my Bothy hat so much that when I finished it I decided to start another hat almost right away. This time my goal was to use up the leftovers from my Portland Cap. I only dyed the one skein this nice brown color, so I ended up using some of the undyed... Continue Reading →
I hope you had a great holiday if you celebrated yesterday! I finished this hat in time to give it to my spouse for xmas. Once I got done with the straight ribbing and moved into the decreases things went really fast. The cabled decreases gave me a little anxiety since the pattern has you... Continue Reading →
I knit this one over a span of a couple days back in September. It was nice making such a quick project. The yarn is the tonal brown yarn that I dyed using a leftover skein from my Super Moon sweater. The aran weight yarn worked up super fast and gives the cables nice definition,... Continue Reading →
I picked up this super soft alpaca yarn at Frederick Fiber Fest and cast on this hat almost right away. I ended up taking it with me on my trip to Iceland but I barely touched it while I was there. Now that I'm home I'm trying to get this off the needles. Hopefully I... Continue Reading →
I had a lot of time off last week and am catching up on showing you what I finished. This one was cast on after xmas and finished on new year's eve. It was a nice simple pattern to work on during a mostly relaxing week. I plan for this hat to be a gift,... Continue Reading →
I realized almost too late that one of my goals for this month was to make something xmas-y. This yarn was part of the prize I won at the fiber festival, and is very holiday themed. I figure it is much better to make something with it now rather than wait until next year, so... Continue Reading →
It has been done for a few days now, but it is finally blocked and dry and ready to show off! My calculations for the brim seemed to have worked out perfectly. You can wear it with the purple brim, or flip it inside out and have the variegated yarn the whole way up. I... Continue Reading →
I have officially reached the point of starting the decreases for this hat. Yes, it is still slightly shorter than the pattern calls for, but it is still a little longer than my other Musselburgh so I'm calling it good. Mostly I just decided that I needed to be finished with this project so I... Continue Reading →
This is what happens when I can manage to focus on just one project for a few days. Suddenly this hat has grown by several inches! I think I am definitely getting close to starting the decreases. One thing I didn't take into account when I started is that this yarn is superwash, while my... Continue Reading →
I really hope I didn't mess up my plans for this hat. I've finished the solid section, and did end up using the entire mini skein. When I compared with my other Musselburgh it looks like I should be a bit over halfway done. However when I looked up the pattern I realized that I... Continue Reading →
I measured this hat against my previous Musselburgh hat and it looks like I'm almost exactly at the halfway point. My plan for this one was to make it just a bit longer than the old one, so maybe I have a couple more rows until the actual halfway point. So far I've used up... Continue Reading →
I made it far enough to swap to my coordinating mini. I'm really hoping that this idea works out the way it does in my head. The deep purple color is just gorgeous and I want to make sure it doesn't end up hidden when everything is finished. I'm also curious whether I'll end up... Continue Reading →
