A few things with school and work got can­celled, so the first two weeks of the semes­ter weren’t as busy as I thought, and I sud­den­ly have time on my hands for a few quick knit­ting projects :D

Mike request­ed these to wear in his chilly office.

I used this pat­tern. Knit­ted flat and seamed together.

And then I made myself this hat, knit­ted side­ways in garter stitch. 

Was being real­ly wool­ly that day, wear­ing a wool­ly hat and a wool­ly sweater.

I fol­lowed this pat­tern. It was fun to learn short rows! I decreased the num­ber of stitch­es because I used a much thick­er yarn (super bulky) and much larg­er nee­dles (10 mm) than called for, and I did­n’t do the knit TBL for the top and the brim.

Well, what­ev­er got can­celled most­ly got pushed to this week, so things will get busier, but hope­ful­ly I will still be able to sit down and knit for a while in the evening.

Have a won­der­ful week, everyone!

 This was the knit­ting project I men­tioned a cou­ple of posts ago :D It’s a Lion Brand pat­tern. The lace pat­tern was a bit con­fus­ing at first and I had to take it apart a cou­ple of times. Thank­ful­ly no stitch­es were lost (I think), and after 2 weeks of knit­ting I pret­ty much got the pat­tern mem­o­rized so it got a lot eas­i­er after that. Just two rec­tan­gles with a bit of neck shap­ing. The col­lar turned out a bit small­er than I thought, so I just cro­cheted 1 round of sin­gle cro­chet to fin­ish it off rather than doing the 3 rounds of k1 p1 rib­bing as instruct­ed. A bit big on me all around but I like that it’s long.

I real­ly like the tex­ture of the moss stitch. I think I’m going to try to make up a sweater pat­tern with moss stitch, bulky yarn and 10 mm nee­dles. We’ll see.

Have a hap­py Wednesday!
