I sold some yarn earlier this week, and while rooting around to find it, was struck by the number of ends I’ve accumulated. So we’re apparently in a stash busting mood again. This is a washcloth/dishcloth, using Purl Soho’s free Colorful Half and Half Washcloths pattern. I’ll definitely be using up as much Knitpicks Lindy
Pattern: Sambucus by Haberkula Justyna Haberkowa Yarn: KDD & Co (Kate Davies Designs) Milarrochy Tweed in Hirst and Gloamin Needles: Size 3 and 4 circs and size 4 DPNs I really enjoyed this pattern. Unfortunately, I got a child sized hat out of it. So it’ll go in my stash – I would have happily
This is the Sambucas hat, which I’m using as a break from the Trisha sweater. I’ve already redone the cast on three times, as I apparently can’t read directions. So that’s been fun. I think I finally got this on track – hopefully third time is the charm.
I finally finished the body of the Trisha sweater. Thank all the gods the author uses a short row method so you can knit this on the inside, instead of having to purl the whole thing. I would not have survived that much purling. As it was, I did an entire Boreas chart in the
Pattern: Sonsie by Kate Davies Yarn: KD&D Co Ooskit in the Choffer and Riach colorways Needles: Size 5 and 6 circs and Size 6 DPNs Both Sonsie hats are done. I really enjoyed this pattern – it’s fun to follow along while it’s developing. That’s why I made both versions – I had enough yarn

It didn’t really need the blocking to open up the pattern – it was mainly to smooth out some lumps. I
The first Sonsie hat is done. This is the slouch size. I really enjoyed the pattern, and I have enough yarn left, I figure I might as well knock out the beanie as well, while I’m at it. This really is fun pattern – very well written.
The Trisha sweater is going well. Which means I’m past the interesting bits in the yoke, and have moved into the endless stockinette portion of the body. What is cool about this is that it’s technically reverse stockinette, but the designer used short rows to turn things around so you’re knitting it as regular stockinette.
First two yarns of 2025 are used up – these hexipuffs are the rest of the The Alpaca Yarn Co. Paca-Peds and Wonderland Yarns & Frabjous Fibers Cheshire Cat yarns I just made hats with. It was nice to get some yarn struck out of my list – I sat on all my ends last
Pattern: Allerton Hat by Wooly Wormhead Yarn: The Alpaca Yarn Co. Paca-Peds in the Stardust colorway Needles: Size 1.5 DPNs This is a cute pattern – and has enough going on to keep it interesting, even though it’s fundamentally a garter stitch tube. And can I say how gratifying it was to do grafting in
