This next one is another very popular Rav freebie: Wurm by Katharina Nopp.12,971 Ravelers can’t be wrong. 8,143 knitters have completed the hat and posted it on their project page. Rikke sits lightly on the head and several knitters have commented that it doesn’t give its wearer a case of hat-hair. As always, no pointiness is what I favor and this crown decrease delivers. Sease says it’s a suitable substitute for the German Twisted. ![]() I ended up using a wonderfully easy cast-on from page 41 of Cap Sease’s excellent 2014 book, “Cast On, Bind Off: 211 Ways to Begin and End Your Knitting.” She calls it Thumb Cast On and writes that it’s also called the Twisted Right Finger Half-hitch Cast On. The pattern calls for using a German Twisted Cast-on and refers the knitter to YouTube for the “how to” on that. It must be a bear’s tooth after the bear’s been been munching on some sun-ripened protein. Young designed it for DK, but I knit mine in Mountain Colors Twizzle, a fairly lightweight worsted. This is Rikke Hat, by Sarah Young of Happy Knits. And, if you knew me better you’d know that I don’t really even wear hats very often. The knitalong will run from August 1-22 in the Mountain Colors group, and there are prizes! Check out the KAL thread for more details.I know. Looking for a little project to kick start your fall knitting? Join us in the Mountain Colors Ravelry Group for a knitalong starting August 1! You can of course start earlier if you want, the pattern is available now. There are three sizes, and although I personally have small hands, I knit up the Large size to make sure there would be enough yarn! The main body of the mitt is worked in a pattern that mixes seed stitch with slipped stitches, which I really like – the purl stitches really sparkle in the Twizzle yarn. Snooker Mitts feature a seed stitch cuff and simple buttonhole thumb. The silk takes dyes differently than wool, so the plied yarn has a great marled effect to it. This worsted weight yarn is 85% merino, 15% silk – and the silk is a strand plied with the wool, rather than blended with it. New Pattern Release! These fingerless mitts are knitted up in Mountain Colors Perspectives Twizzle. We were able to get some more photos of the front from the photographer, so it’s a bit easier to see!įave, queue and buy Waterfall Cardigan on Ravelry The long sleeves are ribbed for a close fit, and instructions are included for an optional belt.

I have THREE new patterns out with Swans Island! I know, it’s only the beginning (maybe early-middle) of summer and we’re already talking about fall?! But we all know that knitting takes time, and you need a new project to take on vacation, so now’s a great time to start a new sweater that’ll be ready to wear for the earliest cool nights.Īll three are worked up in Natural Colors Merino fingering weight, which is so light and has great yardage. I’m planning to put up some handspun for sale soon so keep an eye out if you’re interested! ![]() Then once all the singles were done, I used the jumbo plying head on my Lendrum to chain-ply them, joining the two bobbins’ worth and hopefully keeping the colours nicely intact. Middle: BFL-silk in a colour way I can’t remember, also from Indigodragonflyīottom: Polwarth/silk in Reverberate (OOAK) from Pigeonroof Studiosįor all of these, I split the top lengthwise down the middle and spun each half onto a separate bobbin, because mine don’t quite hold a full 4oz. Top: Polwarth in Flintstoner from Indigodragonfly It’s a good thing I wasn’t reeeeally doing the Tour de Fleece because this is all I managed. More new skeins, a few that I spun up in July. And a little yarn, of course! I also picked up Sonya Phillips’ Dress No 3 pattern, since she had picked us up from the hotel to go to Verb it seemed like the right thing to do. I got just a yard of this wide naturally-dyed linen – I think it’ll be enough for a longish sleeveless top. I forgot to share my purchases from Verb in Oakland! One of the “reasons” I “had” to buy stuff was to pay Denny for her excellent sample knitting.Īnd some fancy fabric! Khadi cotton and cotton grown by Sally Fox! I’m pretty sure Denny’s already knit and sewn up all this stuff by now ) ![]()
