First Snowboader Hat

I say first because in true Knitterella fashion I decided to start knitting Christmas gifts now. WIth one month to go I 'plan' to make these hats the gift to give this year.


So far so good, this hat knits up super fast, was fun to make and turned out really nice. Here's hoping I keep my momentum going!

Just finished the Kia Cabled Sweater for WZ. I love the way it turned out. So cute!


Looks like I'll have to cast on for another one real soon - he's going to out grow this one fast!

Yup! It's a hat.

Pattern Source: Slouched Tuva Hat pattern, FREE from Turvid
Yarn: Yarn from The Plucky Knitter/ Merino Cashmere Nylon Worsted Weight, color way Honey Wilkes
Needles: size 7 and 8
Ravelry Link: HERE
Notes: I knitted this is worsted instead of the DK the pattern calls for. I liked the way it turned out. I didn't alter the pattern at all this time but if I were to knit with worsted again I think I'd cast on for less stitches (maybe 20) and increase into the first pattern round to get the required number of stitches for the rest of the hat.

Cable Comfort Throw

Finally an FO! Well, actually when I showed you the 'sneak peek' it was already done. I had to wait to post about it because it was a gift for a dear friend on her wedding day.


The only downfall to this project was that, in my opinion, it didn't turn out big enough. If I ever do this again I think I'd do at least 2 extra panels and also add 2 more cable rounds to the width. (note to self: each panel took about 1.25 skeins)


In the beginning I wasn't sure if I wanted to knit this in panels like the pattern requested or if I wanted to cast on for them all at once to avoid all that seaming. I did ended up doing the panels separate and it worked out well for me. I seamed them as I went and I actually enjoyed it.

Yarn Action

I'm sorry my blog has been so boring lately… A lot has been going on and unfortunately not a lot of knitting. Will is actually getting more 'yarn action' then I am! Hopefully that will change soon.
