It's hat weather! Heading outside this morning for the school bus I welcomed the opportunity to grab a new hat. The yarns and pom are from the Holiday Hat Kit by Three Irish Girls at Eat.Sleep.Knit. Instead of the Winter Cable Hat, I decided to follow the CopyCat C.C. Beanie after I saw a display… Continue reading Copy of a Copy

Picking Up Where I Left Off
Back in April, I had every intention of blogging. I even felt all cocky that I had a great theme for my next post. While we were watching the Band of Brothers series, I knit on a WWII Watch Cap for Dan. The hat turned out great and the day I finished it was one… Continue reading Picking Up Where I Left Off
I Want My Hat Back
Have You Seen My Hat? * I think I lost my hat. I make a lot of hats and wear a lot of virtual ones. I really only wear one hat. This one, my Solitude Dots. I bought the kit at Rhinebeck in 2014. I know I wore it to the Y while taking one of… Continue reading I Want My Hat Back
Fresh FO My Moonshine Molly
Another week, another hat! I actually finished this hat last week and wove in the ends over the weekend. This week the weather has been snowy and cold, giving me ample opportunity to work this hat into the handknit rotation (along with a good number of other handknits as documented on Instagram!). I used the… Continue reading Fresh FO My Moonshine Molly
A New Hat
I love hats. One of my first successful knitting projects was an Ann Norling Fruit Hat for a baby. I am pretty sure I still have the pattern somewhere. I have knit hats for charity, for myself, for my family. I have to say that taking pictures of hats is one of my least favorite… Continue reading A New Hat
FO Friday: 2014 Rhinebeck Hat
It's that time of year again - Rhinebeck weekend! This is a great festival and I look forward to it every year. I made a sweater during Camp Loopy that I thought I would wear to Rhinebeck, though the weather is looking warmer and my 2014 Rhinebeck Hat would clash with it. How crazy do… Continue reading FO Friday: 2014 Rhinebeck Hat
WIP Wednesday
This week I have been sticking with my spinning for Spinzilla & Team Louet. Looking at what other team members have already accomplished is a bit intimidating, but I am trying to keep the view that I'm still new at this and the whole point is to have fun. I can see an improvement in… Continue reading WIP Wednesday
So this was Christmas…
Whoosh. Another Christmas has come and gone - it was a whirlwind (as always) and went by way to fast (as always) but was a good time & a success! This year we were low key on the side of decorations due to the Little Nutmeg being rather full of grabby hands. We had a… Continue reading So this was Christmas…
Here are your angry eyes!
Each time I picked up this hat to work on it, all I could hear in my head was the voice of Mrs. Potato Head in Toy Story 2 (thanks to the all-day post Thanksgiving marathon). "I'm packing your angry eyes!" This hat was a test knit for Cambria Washington. The pattern is well written… Continue reading Here are your angry eyes!
