Pattern: Pussyhat, Four Gauges, in the Round, by Sarah KellerYarn: Valley Yarns Northampton in the Bright Pink colorwayNeedles: Size 8 circs and DPNs Just a quick little project, for a special request to have one on hand in case they’re needed again. I had enough yarn to make one more that was almost as […]
Pattern: Winter’s Fern by Trin-AnnelieYarn: Briggs and Little Heritage in the Natural White, Blue Heather and Medium Gray colorwaysNeedles: Size 8 circs and DPNs It’s amazing how much easier it is a make a pattern when you’re using the same yarn for all three colors (please read with heavy sarcasm…) This go was much
Let’s try this one again. Here’s another go at the Winter’s Fern hat, by Trin-Annelie. This time, I’m using the same yarn for all three colors. (Briggs and Little Heritage). I bought this from the close-outs at Webs, and got it out of the bag, and was shocked by how big

Well, both of the projects I’ve started so far this year have been frogged. In the case of the Blank Canvas sweater, even though I’m supposedly matching gauge, it was too big. I’d gotten all they way to the chest and where you pause before making and attaching the sleeves, and it was just
