Yesterday I kept looking at the Strange Brew book, trying to decide what I wanted to work on first. I also need to get started on the It Takes a Guild Knit Along but next week, I have a road trip one day, medical tests, a dentist appointment and I want to start the knit along when I’ll have several full days in a row to give it my undivided attention so for now, I’m working on smaller, easy to finish projects.
Vince and I were talking about the time change and he said “we get an extra hour to sleep!” I said “I get an extra hour to knit!” We didn’t sleep. He was up after midnight playing with his printer. I was up after midnight finishing a hat.
Christmas Hat
This is actually an adult size hat but it’s more like a beanie and tighter than I like my hats so I may save it and give it to Addie in a few years. It still needs a pom pom but I’m probably going to let Nicole make the pom pom. She does a good job and I don’t really like making them.
Floats
My floats are looking neater.
The tiger hat I did for Addie and this one are both done with Cascade Eco + wool, which is real close to bulky weight. My hands have had enough of that for a while!
I’m thinking Life of a Crystal might be my next project. Or, maybe Alaska. Both of those are fingering weight yarn.
Sherrill Pecere says
So pretty! You did that in one day? Wow.
Valerie Zagami says
Beautiful! I love both thought hats but LOVE Alaska. That looks difficult to me! ps not a knitter!

This is a cute little hat, and the two you are looking at making are also very attractive. I’m amazed at how good Alaska looks in all those colorways!
Nelle Coursey says
I like your new hat!

Your hat looks good. But my choice would be the Alaska one — oooh oooh– the colors on the hot pink and dark blue with trees. Love it!!! Do you need my hat size? …. lol
