@KnittingDyke@mspsocial.net Actually, I just found a 2013 hat pattern from the baubles designer, Dona Carruth, so I bought a copy of that. Again, no toddler sizes which is why I didn't find it in my original search https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/encircling-ewe

@Su_G@aus.social The pattern has adult sizes! I've been contemplating whether it would cruel to make a parent-sized ones as well!

Having just finished my big project, my niece said on Wednesday it would be nice to have a beanie for little L. I guess I really need a new project and there's plenty of leftover yarn in the cupboard because by Saturday morning there was this -

A year and a half ago I was inspired by this post - @lostletters@cutie.city@aus.social
from @lostletters@cutie.city. I fell in love with those colours and that pattern

It took me another year to cast on. Over the last six months the project has morphed as I've knitting but what I got out the other end still carries the inspiration of lostletters' work even if it no longer used any of the pattern, design or even, really, the colourway

This is the first garment I've knitted in many a year that turned out the way it was in my head. I'm loving finally getting to wear it.

@dmakovec I was staying close to the fire area in 2020 and one of the locals happened to mention that the helicopters just kept water dropping the same area over and over

@FanCityKnits@troet.cafe I didn't slip any stitches but because I'm carrying the second colour there is an extra thickness to it

I'm nearly finished a tunic I've been knitting since last November. It's taken so long because even though I started intending to follow a pattern (well, two patterns smooched together) I kept being unhappy with it, frogging and then having to do research about how to make it look the way I wanted.

Anyway, I'm finally at the end. The pattern has you do a rib but I really didn't want it to come in at the bottom so I thought maybe seed stitch instead. Also, I wanted to bring the colour from the stranded work back. But I couldn't find anything online about how a seed stitch with the knits in one colour and the purls in another looks.

Turns out it looks like this. Almost liked it's woven. I love it.
