Make 2020: Hat - "Sort-Of Eyelet"

Image
Hiya, I am moving right along with my Make 2020 list.  I have just finished a comfortable hat using yarn from my stash.   The pattern repeat was easy to remember and required only 1 skein of yarn (150 yards). UnBlocked You will notice that this hat was originally designed for cancer patients recovering from chemotherapy.  Therefore, it would be a perfect project for groups and/or guilds to knit and donate to a local hospital or cancer center.  Since too very little time to know, I will be reaching out to my local facilities and see if they would be interested in receiving a small quantity.  Enjoy Knitting Each Day!

Stash & MORE Stash

Hiya, As you know, I was determined to do more knitting from my stash in 2019 and I will continue to do so in the new year as well.   To that end, I had a single skein of mohair yarn in various colors.  I didn't know what to do with them; but, I knew that I did not want to discard them all. I found a pattern a free pattern by Beata Jezek called Outline .  It is a simple construction and a very easy knit.  The pattern was enjoyable knit and provided a wonderful knitting rhythm.  Although it is suggested to use yarns of similar weight, I decided to use the mohair from my stash. In addition, I did not follow the pattern suggested color sequence. I think it turned out pretty good. Enjoy Knitting Each Day! Jackie
