Pattern: Jacques Cousteau Hat by Lalla PahjanpaloYarn: Malabrigo Rios in the Glazed Carrots colorwayNeedles: Size 4 Circs and DPNs BF has decided this is his favorite hat pattern. Because it’s knit with smaller needles, the fabric is nice and thick, and therefore warm. Because I had a little extra yarn to work with this time, […]
Here’s try three for an orange hat for the BF. I’m doing him another Jacques Costeau hat, which I’m hoping to make a little longer than the last one so he has a little extra length to turn up. I’d forgotten how much tighter the fabric is on this one, due to the size 4
Pattern: Honey Cowl by Antonia ShanklandYarn: Sundara sock yarn in the Winter Twilight ColorwayNeedles: Size 6 circs Last year’s goof off cowl went much slower than this one did, I think because it was just stockinette.

Final cast on for the year: the Turbine hat by Wooly Wormhead, in the rest of the Malabrigo Rios Glazed Carrots yarn. I’m making the largest size – here’s hoping I have enough yarn leftover.
Here’s the obligatory year end hexipuff post. Someday, I’ll have enough for a baby blanket. At least this year, I got in some different colors to break up the mostly blue and green monotony.
For a slightly brainless project, I’ve cast on a Honey Cowl for myself, in one of my Sundara yarns that I’ve been just looking at for a while now because I really love the colors. I decided I really should try to make them into something that other people can see as well. (This one
Pattern: Fisher Cable hat by Lindsey FeliceYarn: Malabrigo Rios in the Glazed Carrots colorwayNeedles: Size 7 circs and DPNs BF’s hat is done. (It was actually finished on the 16th, before I headed to CA.) This pattern is really easy, and a quick knit. And I had so much yarn left over,
