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
FO Friday Selbu Modern
Last week, it was new socks, this week, I've got a new hat. Well, my daughter does. I knit the Selbu Modern for Sophmore Semester #2 of Loopy Academy. This meets the project requirements of using a variegated colorway and a solid colorway. I think it looks really nice, though my lesson learned from this… Continue reading FO Friday Selbu Modern
A New Color Story Emerges
I have several projects that suitable to share this week. Enough work has been done on each that they are out of the blob phase. I was surprised when I pulled these projects together to see that they all sort of go together color-wise, and not one of the colors is blue! The stripey rectangle at… Continue reading A New Color Story Emerges
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
After the Blizzard
For all the hype for "Blizzard 2015", I was happy to wake up to see snowfall amounts that were way less than forecast! We still have 15-18" of snow, shoveling to do, and the kids are going on their second day with no school. The power stayed on, the local plow guy was here early… Continue reading After the Blizzard
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 Solitude Dots Hat and More Turkey
I was so excited to finish my Solitude Dots Hat last Friday night. I immediately put it on and wore it all weekend. The kit I purchased at Rhinebeck did indeed provide plenty of yarn allowing for a pompom with the leftovers if you wanted. I'm still considering it, but I don't feel like this… Continue reading FO Friday Solitude Dots Hat and More Turkey
Polka Dots
I love polka dots. They seem to be everywhere and then nowhere, but I think they are a classic. I don't polka-dot all the things, all the time though they always catch my eye. I will indulge in a good polka dot item: these sneakers I finally tracked down, pajama pants, socks, and so on.… Continue reading Polka Dots
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
