Happy (belated) Birthday to me!

Posted on November 5, 2018 by Patti_is_knittinginflashes

October 27, 19something. Yep, that’s when I came into this world.

So I treated myself to a…

….yarn scale (aka kitchen scale)*.

Now I will be able to weigh my yarn and not play yarn chicken as often!

Happy Halloween

A trio

Posted on October 29, 2018 by Patti_is_knittinginflashes

I finished the third in the series of striped 1898 hats.

This one is two shades of blue: a soft heathered medium blue (Wool-eze) and navy (Red Heart Super Saver). Same stripe sequence as the others though I only played yarn chicken with the first hat.

I’m going to toss these in the washer and dryer to soften up the acrylic Red Heart yarn…unless you know of another way to soften them.

Oh, and I decided to follow Jude and Salpal’s advice. Leave the green hat as is and not be concerned with the wonky stitches. It IS for a child after all.

Green cap

I loved the two-toned striped 1898 cap I finished earlier so I decided to do another one in two shades of green. No yarn chicken game needed with this cap.
