Reagan's Grenade hat is finished! Just in time for the fair next week. I used the Christian's Hat pattern with a few adjustments. I like it but I'm a little worried that the judges might notice a mistake I made in the pattern when I was reducing. No matter. It still works lol. And I'm definitely not going to rip it out to fix it or make it again!
Also finished the Mistake Rib Scarf. It was alot of fun to make. And Hobby Lobby's I Love This Yarn in Kaleidoscope looks pretty. I cast off with a bigger needle then I knitted with like I usually do and it made the end fan a little bit. Guess I need to watch it when I make ribbed scarfs.
New stuff!
I started the Mariner's Scarf with I Love This Yarn in Grape Twist. This pattern is alot of fun to make. Not quite sure about this yarn with this pattern tho. Its a little too busy and makes it hard to notice the cool checkerboard pattern. I'm using size 8 needles and cast on 28 sts so it would measure 6 inches wide instead of 8 inches.
I have three projects I will start soon but I still need to decide on the style, yarn and needle size. So these pics are examples of what I might make.
Fingerless Mitts for my friend, Jim. I've wanted to try fingerless mitts ever since I watched the 90's version of Little Women LOL.
I want to try and copy these. I saw them on Etsy for like $50. The seller said they were based on a pair that Jamie wore on Outlander. I always noticed Claire's awesome knitted accessories but didn't even think to scrutinize Jamie's wardrobe. I'll definitely be looking closely when I finally watch season 2.
A Llewyn Davis Scarf for my mom. I wanted to make this scarf ever since I saw the movie! I can't find any patterns written online. I think it will be easy to copy tho.
Finally, I want to try to make this style of scarf. My pattern calls it a Self-Closing Scarf. I saw Dot wearing one on Ms. Fisher's Murder Mysteries and couldn't wait to try it!
My sewing is kind of halted right now. I decided to alter the top I was working on and rip out the neckband and cut a smaller one and gather up the excess fabric. It looks so much better but I can't get excited about finishing it. Right now its in a pile on top of some junk. Maybe I can get motivated this week to finish it :)
No cute Pokey pic but I do have a derpy pic of my cat Ripley. Don't know how she could sleep like that lol.
