A chunky fox! Pattern is Foxed from Hunter Hammersen ☺️

That it looks adorable on my shelves is a great bonus!

Yarn is Knit Picks Palette

Lovecraftian Knitting

In order to fix another one of my many misbehaving knitting projects, that are currently residing in the naughty pile, I tried to tackle the socks I wanted to knit with the Lana Grossa Meilenweit Mega Boots Stretch yarn (oof, what a name). My last attempt on this did not go according to keikaku (x). Several things I did not like - like the pattern/yarn combination (also there was a random hole after blocking??!!). And thus I did the sensible thing: frogging it all ^^

This time I chose the Tacit pattern by Hunter Hammersen for this yarn instead of a free style diagonal rib. On my first try it turned out too tight and unstretchy in the cable part, but too loose in the ribbing. To get the cable looser and the ribbing tighter, I created this lovecraftian horror:

Smaller needles for the ribbing and the part that turns from ribbing into cable later on in the pattern (separated, so I don't loose track of what stays ribbing and what not) and bigger needles for the cable parts. It's perfect now!

Thanks to the peeps on stitchcord for all the suggestions and trouble shooting.

These are from before putting in seven needles, but you get the idea what it's going to look like. I love this yarn so much!

I have three sock WIPs right now, but I particularly like this one! :) The pattern is **Serab** by Hunter Hammersen (ravelry link), but sadly discontinued.

i am beyond charmed by this little washcloth i made

(pattern is lather by hunter hammersen)

Hello people smarter than me I have a question regarding this pattern

(You dont need to actually see the pattern for this) basically part of the pattern requires that you cut some long floats of the contrasting colour and let them rest inside the mitten, but it doesn't have any information on what kind of yarn you should use for the cc

The pattern uses mohair and iirc that's grippy enough to just snip and fold over and not do anything else with the ends

HOWEVER where I'm getting stuck is that it's such a small amount of yarn and I a) don't have any leftover mohair and b) don't want to buy any

So what's a good substitute yarn? I have some leftover alpaca I'm trying to find a project for that might work? It's a 2ply construction and has a good bit of halo but idk if it'll hold the way it needs to. Should I swatch some and see how annoying it is to frog?

Though do I even need to worry about this? As the pattern says the floats will be a few cm long and it's being held double anyway so it'll be pretty secure I imagine. But then again mittens are obviously worn on the hand so theyll get more contact with the outside world...

Ribbing is done! One chart repeat is done! (Missing a couple rows in this picture, but present me has completed a chart repeat).

I'm almost out of the first ball. I've been optimistically carrying around the second cake, hoping to switch over soon...

Continental hurts my hands, but this hat is mostly 1x1 rib, and there is no way I'm using English style to do this. Even though it doesn't hurt my hands.

Yarn is Tenzig by Juniper Moon, pattern is Ephemeris by Hunter Hammersen.

Finally finished after a long break.

Today’s tea: Summer Rose, which is lovely in any season!

Today’s knit: Tentacula Hat by Jenny Noto, in Knit Picks Wondefluff Ombre, Kale Heather colorway. This thing was such fun that I pretty much spent the whole day working on it - a hat in bulky yarn goes pretty quickly, although it did still take me most of the day - and thus you get no progress pics as it’s fresh out of blocking overnight. :-D Well, still slightly damp, actually, but close enough. The pattern uses this technique to make the cool little elongated-stitch waves that create the braided effect going up the columns. I’ve used a similar “dip stitch” technique in some socks designed by Hunter Hammersen, so I was able to catch on fairly quickly to how to work this one, and had a blast doing so. As for the Wondefluff yarn, it is well named. It is wondrously fluffy and makes such a cozy hat! I didn’t use the whole (enormous) skein of it so you can just see a bit of the ombre range; it gets all the way to a much lighter green at the end. Maybe I’ll make a pompom with the lighter end of the skein and add that at the top of the hat?

Brioche

I got bored. Because NaNoWriMo is basicallt over and I am avoiding my unfinished novel, right now. So I decided to make a brioche hat. Not just any brioche hat: nah, my brain went, "Brioche but make it CABLES."

The pattern is Whirling by Hunter Hammersen. It should look like this:

Look at the gorgeous cables! How elegantly they climb up the hat! I've made this hat before and it turned out great, so I thought it would be the same this go aroubs.

Readers, I'm pretty sure I messed up the cables...

I'm not mad because it kinda looks a bit like tentacles? And that works pretty well with the colors I picked. I actually think the recipient will like this better than the original pattern. So I'm going to keep going and might post the finished hat when I'm done (if I remember).

Sometimes you have to make your own signs of spring

(so I’m focusing on this cute little test knit I did for Hunter Hammersen and ignoring the snowbanks on the other side of the window)

Still working on my shawl! Very pleased how it’s coming along. :)

A few hours early, but Happy Valentine’s Day! No matter your relationship status, I hope you use today to reach out to someone you love.
