Djerba's Habitat

I have to say that from the knit hats that I enjoy making, this one is one of them.  This is the Habitat by Jared Flood.  It is a very challenging pattern, yet it allows you to learn a lot about knitting.  It has some dancing stitch markers, enjoy the dance. I am making this one in Wool ease, colorway mushroom.  This will make a fantastic hat for my  Caprican Cardigan. Thanks for stopping by.

You know by now that I love hats. This hats is amazing , but it is hard on the wrists as it includes twisted stitches and twisted cables. In the end I will say that I will make it again. I don't like long hats, I like to hear around me when I am walking or outside. I made it with four repetitions only, I could have probably used another inch at the brim and fold it if necessary, but the circumference of the hat is perfect. Jared Flood KoolHaas is an amazing project that will guide you through the steps of twisted stitches and twisted cables. This is done in Malabrigo worsted weight with size 6 mm. I started with US 7 DPNs for the brim, yep the other way around as I am contrarian lol! I know how I knit so I figure I need to make sure it goes over my big head. Once the brim was done, I proceeded to make the hat on US 6. Thanks for stopping by.

Resurrection Hemlock Ring Throw

This is the Throw I am making for myself. I have made many throws for many people and given them away, this one is for me. I want to make the over sized version I want it to cover me from head to toe, it won't be hard, I am a short little fellow. I have a new life and this is my Resurrection Blanket, it is to show my Rebirth as a designer and it is a gift to myself. Thanks for stopping by!
