I am sorry that you get to see the awkward place where I joined the stitches.
Gro Hat in leftover KnitPicks Twill (Sea Salt Heather). I read the comments and added another pattern repeat to make it larger. I am not 100% sure that I really needed to do that, but the hat fits and I have no complaints. I especially like how the decreases grow out of the leafy cables and come together on the crown.
Blocked on the radiator!
So I’ll make a new one!
(Yarn Miracle did a little site migration. I’m catching up on my back posts.)
When we were packing up, I came across a couple different project bags with half-finished projects inside. Years-Ago-Me was super thoughtful and left pattern notes with the unfinished projects so Future-Me would be able to finish. Which probably has some deep, personal lesson about hope or organization or forward thinking or something.
Anyway, I finished these these for Michael yesterday. I think this yarn was part of a swap with a knitter in Germany. It’s worsted, washable wool, and I used my super tragic Worsted Weight Basic Socks pattern with a broken rib for the leg and instep. I wrote that pattern so long ago (decades) that I’ve lost the original and have no way to edit it to fix the mistakes. If you decide to use it: the gauge is wrong, the heel turn is wrong, but everything else is fiiiiiiiine!
I just browsed cardigan patterns on Ravelry. I printed three. I haven’t actively thought about starting a project in over a year.
Let’s just see where this goes.
That’s better.
Tah-dah!
I find the toys a little disturbing before they get put together.
She’s going to live in Canada.
Forgot to check my gauge.
Argh.
I’ll start over.
Fins
The first new stuff in the shop in ages.
Rabbit.
Elephant.
I’m still trying to find a balance and constantly reminding myself that everything is fine if I don’t produce as much as in years past.
I also finally got pictures of the in-progress mermaid! She needs hair and the pattern needs attention, but she’s moving forward.
Always forward.
School starts the 15th. I very much badly want the Mermaid to be ready for a test knitter or two by then.
All done and on their way to the hospital Gala.
Candy Birds
I haven’t made birdies in ages. Their little legs are still big fun.
Next up: a fox for a customer (special request).
