Get Out and Vote

As is obvious, this site and the effort of all this knitting (besides having tons of fun) is to help benefit women. Saying that, I want to remind everyone to exercise their right and responsibility to vote on Tuesday. Make sure to have your voice heard. Plus, you get a cool voting sticker. Finally, RBG would want you to vote. Don’t disappoint her.

 

Gift Idea for Making Your Alcohol Even Classier (Part 1)

Yesterday, was satisfying as I finished off my hat late last night and topped it off with a pom-pom today. Look forward to a blog post on it tomorrow. For now though I’ll go with a flashback from the past with some of my earliest documented projects.

These make excellent presents for yourself or family/friends that are interested in a fun way to hold your growlers or wine. My personal favorite is the growler with the classy button to help close it up nicely. Don’t get me wrong the wine bottle sweaters are nice there is just something cozy looking about the growler cozy. Fortunately there is even more I have done with beverage knitting. Some with team patterns if you are interested in that which will follow in a part 2 post of making your alcohol drinking classy knitting style.

 

 

Sprinkling Some Happiness into my Knitting Life

Working on a Sprinkle Hat this week hence the attempt at a clever title. Shout out to Jamie Hoffman who I got this pattern from.

Gonna do 96 stitches on size 8 needles.
The ombre hat had:
-8 rounds of ribbing
-4 rounds of first color plain
-27 rounds of the chart
-5 rounds of second color plain
-then decreases.
That’s 44 total rows before decreases

This pattern only has 22 rounds in its chart.
So I’ll have to add in those extra 5 rows somewhere…not sure if I want to have those 5 rows in the first color or the second color…
