I finished the Koolhaas Hat from the IK Holiday issue last night. I took me about 3 nights.
Pattern: Koolhaas Hat by Jared Flood Yarn: Bernat Super Value (yes acrylic sorry Jared!) it is the free skein given to me by my knitting guild for our Christmas Party Contest.. Needles: Size from my Boye Needlemaster Notes: Once you get the pattern established you really don’t have to look at the pattern till the crown shaping. Since this pattern uses twisted knit stitch, and purl stitch it is acually a great candidate for loom knitters with adjustable looms! I am planning on making some matching armwarmer/mittens we shall see how they turn out! And since it is Bookish Thursday another new book to tell you about. This on is for the needle knitters.. mainly of the male persuasion! (seems to be a theme today) Son of Stitch ‘n Bitch: 45 Projects to Knit and Crochet for Men.
It’s cool because Chelsea who’s blog I have been following for a long time has a pattern in there, and it made it to the back cover!! Congrats!!! Kathy Z. and I got to talking about the scarf I finished last week and the subject of those curlie Q’s came up. I knew I had put how to make them in the blog somewhere a loong time ago so I thought I would put it in an easy to find spot on my tutorial page. So you can pop over there.. the link is up there at the top and see it any time you want!! And there is a pdf you can download and print out for personal use! Enjoy!!
Betcha thought I forgot How To’s Day!! Keep those 3 sentence summaries coming!!! I had too much coffee, and I have been dealing with a brain draining situation.. so I really need help!! Ok.. here is is: please sum me up in 3 sentences!! Yep you get to be my PR person because I am brain dead and Brian is out hunting!! If I like what you write and use it I will send you something pretty! Hows that sound for a deal? Ok.. well I did finish it on Friday.. just took till today to tell you about it!
Pattern: Fiddlehead Scarf from a Kit by Morehouse Merino Yarn: Morehouse Merino laceweight.. also in the kit! Needles: Addi Turbo Circulars size 32″ Notes: I didn’t alter the pattern at all. It was fun to knit, and I could have kept going but I decided to stop at 8 fiddle-heads..I still have to block it.. wishing I had blocking wires for this one! Oh well.. pins it will be, but probably not till Monday I wanna wear it tomorrow! Looks like I will be doing some surprise travelling this week.. tell you about it later!!! |
