Black Tourmaline Hat

I felt like knitting a hat out of a yarn I got a while back. It probably took me longer to find a pattern/design to knit than it took for me to actually make the hat. (Crocheter problems, lol!)

This pattern is super easy to follow and I just love the unique look of the finished product! This would make a great beginner project.

Pattern from: Caitlin ffrench
Yarn: Puppy Bergen (??? some imported yarn I scored from a craft swap)
Needle: 8.0 mm Clover Takumi bamboo double pointed knitting needles from Clover USA

Look What I Made!

Another quick post, just wanna share a quick project!

I felt like knitting recently and use up some scraps. The transition of the colors started earlier than the pattern calls for because I ran out of yarn!

Pattern: Knit Picks
Yarn: Vanna’s Choice in Dusty Blue and Red Heart Super Saver in Soft Navy

Slouchy Beehive Hat

Blogging, Crochet, Look What I Made!

The shop has been quite busy lately, but I finally managed to get photos of something I made before orders came in.

I felt like getting my needles out and knit, and use up some yarn my sister found at a thrift store. I started off using circular knitting needles since I don’t need to worry about falling stitches or losing needles. But once I got about halfway through, I switched over to double pointed needles (dpn’s). Luckily, the set I had was long enough! This is especially easier once the decreases started.

My personal queue is still (and probably always will be, right crafters!?) quite lengthy. So you just never know what I’ll be posting next!

Yarn: sorry, the label is in Japanese, but it feels like a silk blend
Needles: 5.0 mm and 5.5 mm double pointed knitting needles from Clover USA; circular knitting needles from Knitter’s Pride
Pattern: Flower Pot Designs
