By now I’m pretty sure that I’m going to try and make six hats for Christmas. That should be doable, especially since the sixth one is going to be tiny (three daughters, two sons-in-law and a grandson who will probably be born by then). This is the third, so I think I’ll have them all…

Another hat
Yes, it is happening again. I can’t stop knitting hats (remember my 52 hat challenge in 2018?). I just love how simple it is to “design” something on the go, how fast it goes and how every hat is just slightly different. So here’s another one. The ribbing is K3 p2, the top of the…
A hat (!)
After I finished the baby blanket I itched for a small, simple project. And well… if you have been around here for a while, you know. I just wanted to knit a hat. So that’s what I did, using the scraps of the blanket. The ribbing is a simple twisted k1, p1, and after that…
A blanket for baby
After struggling a bit (a lot actually) last week, trying to be positive, but actually having deleted a lot of whining about how slow I was going, something shifted. It’s as if accepting that it would take a while to finish this blanket, made me more motivated to pick it up. There was a whole…
Scenes from the weekend
Yes, there is a pattern there. Knitting, gardening, watching the sunset, repeat. Oh, and a silly cat. It was a good weekend. Wishing you all a great start to your week.
Progress
Last week I was working on the second row of the lighter blue, so I’m definitely getting closer to the end. I only need one more repeat of every color to get the desired size (big enough to cover the bottom of a standard playpen). It’s going slow, but it’s actually really nice to take…
Keep knitting
This post almost was never written. Not that I had issues with it, on the contrary. I had been thinking about what pictures to take and what to write, but I got so distracted with other things that I forgot to actually take those pictures and type those words. Go figure. Serious case of brain…
A simple baby blanket
When I was pregnant for the first time, I didn’t know much about knitting. They tried to teach me in elementary school, but I hated it. The teacher told me I wouldn’t be able to knit properly because I was left-handed, the same reason she gave for refusing to teach me crochet. I wasn’t really…
Very sophisticated
I’m sorry that I haven’t been answering your sweet comments, nor reading and commenting on your blogs this week. I had these last few posts prepared, so I decided to go ahead and publish them, but this week has been a rough one. No big stuff, don’t worry, just a bit of sickness and a…
Just right
I’m slowly going through my restored archives, trying to add the missing pictures back in (if I have them, some of them are lost forever). Last week I found this post about my blue cotton sweater.It’s so funny to look back at that post. At that time, I just thought I was making a summer…
