Yarn: Blue Sky Alpaca Sport Weight 100% Alpaca
Pattern: Modified from a headband pattern I made years ago (and many times since), Nakiska by Amy Swenson
Notes: I threw in different cables since I’ve made this pattern about six times. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great pattern (obviously since I’ve made it so many times) but sometimes I just like to change it up.
Yarn: Sirdar Denim Chunky
Pattern: Eh, it’s a hat. Figure out your gauge, cast on, go till it’s as long as you want, decrease.
Notes: Tim wanted a hat for his birthday; since it wasn’t an afghan I was all “hells yeah!”
Yarn: Perhaps Today is a Good Day to Dye in Surino, colorway “Raspberry Beret”
Pattern: the Sunflower Tam from Knitting Nature (Ravel it!)
Yarn: Lorna’s Laces Green Line Worsted
Pattern: Based on my August afghan square pattern
Yarn: Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Worsted
Pattern: House Hat from “Charmed Knits”
Yarn: Brown Sheep Handpaint Originals in “Fall”
Pattern: Basic hat
Notes: I actually made this hat a couple of years ago, but don’t wear it a lot because I thought it rolled up too much – what with a rolled brim, and all. So I finally dug out the leftovers and picked up stitches, adding ribbing (rather than rip the whole thing out and reknit it). And do you know what doing that told me? That actually… THIS HAT IS TOO BIG FOR ME. Sigh. I HAVE TEH FAIL.
And…. just in time for Halloween….
Yarn: The leftover yarn from my Dr. Who scarf, which became a pullover (Dr. Whubey).
Pattern: Hallowig (Ravelry; Knitty.com)
Notes: Every year I say I want to knit one of these, and every year I never get around to it. So even though I had a ton of things on the needles I cast on — fortunately this is a quick knit! Also one of the dorkiest things on the planet. I look like a tool when I’m wearing it (not that that’ll stop me from wearing it to work today).
Yarn: Malabrigo worsted
Pattern: Coronet (Ravelry; Knitty.com)
Notes: Knitted to teach a class at the shop.
