🔗 Tongariro

April 25, 2021

I acquired a hot water bottle heater about a year ago and intended to make a cozy for it and finally did so. I'm very excited about it and I used up a whole leftover skein of yarn for it, so that is great. Use up that stash.

🔗 Restful Fingerless Mitts

https://ravelry.com/projects/TopHat/restful-fingerless-mitts

March 19, 2021

This was from the Knitcrate box in February; I like to work the pattern that comes with the yarn because I'm really into randomness and I like doing things I didn't have to plan myself. These took 2 weeks to make- one week for each sleeve. I had to use smaller needles so I went up to the XL size. They are a gift for someone and from the pictures I have of her, I think they'll fit. I have beefy biceps so if it fits me, it's probably good.

Not sure what to do with the leftovers. Maybe baby booties.

🔗 Among Us Crewmates

January 13, 2021

I made a set of 3 Among Us Crewmates. The other two are cyan and brown.

I used both the written pattern instructions by Charlotte Smikle as well as her youtube instructions. I found that the youtube video was more accurate for the body, but the written pattern was fine for the backpack and face. I didn't do a black outline for the visor, but they are still very cute. Smikle saw my remarks about the video/written instructions and she updated the written instructions with better counts, so hopefully it all works for you.

🔗 Woodstock Shawl

January 13, 2021

For my birthday, I was given a KnitCrate subscription and the first box came with this sparkly gray yarn and instructions for making a shawl. I wanted to make sure I finished it before I got the next box and I achieved that! The instructions were straightforword, and I ended up with more yarn at the end than I anticipated. I really like the tassels. I think I need more tassels in my life. Why not accent everything?

🔗 Uyuni

December 30, 2020

This pattern is by Verena Cohrs in Sustainablist's TRAVEL. I received TRAVEL as a gift.

I wanted to use up the Karaoke yarn and I thought I'd get a sweater for myself out of it, but after knitting a third of the yarn, I realized I wouldn't have enough so I frogged everything and knit it to fit my kids. It came out well, but this yarn is not good for frogging or the invisible ribbed bind off method. It just turns to wisps

🔗 Look At Me Lace Poncho by Candace Eisner Strick

https://ravelry.com/projects/TopHat/look-at-me-lace-poncho-by-candace-eisner-strick

November 23, 2020

This pattern is by Candace Eisner Strick but is not available on Ravelry. I have the printed pattern from a free table at a knitting retreat. The yarn is Fibernymph Dye Works BFL Mountain Tweed.

I chose orange because orange looks good on me, but I was nervous because this orange is more rusty than bright and I wanted a bright color. So all while I knit it, I was nervous and didn't enjoy the process as much as I'd like. However, it looks great on me and so I love the product. Worth it. It's too chilly to wear something so airy right now, but it'll get lots of use next fall.

🔗 Eave

October 30, 2020

This pattern is by Kira K Designs and I've knit another skirt pattern of hers in the past. I've decided that for the duration of the Pigskin Party, I'm going to randomly choose my knitting projects from my Ravelry queue and this one had been in the queue for a while, but I didn't have the yarn. So I bought some and now I have a lovely skirt.

I chose orange because orange looks good on me and blue because it is a good contract color (and also the Pantone Color of the Year for 2020). Stylish.

🔗 Bedhead Beanie

https://ravelry.com/projects/TopHat/bedhead-beanie

September 21, 2020

I bought this yarn from Gate City Yarns when I was visiting my grandfather two Thanksgivings ago. I loved the contrast of the barberpole black and pink. I had only one skein and so I decided to make a hat. The Bedhead Beanie pattern is featured on the cover of Knitscene, Winter 2019 and I acquired it through RB Digital through my local library. The cables step up as the hat closes. I have slightly less than half the yarn left over and I'm thinking of making the smaller version, but I don't know if I'll have enough yarn. I think I'll have to use some black for the brim to make up for it.
