Adventures in Wood Crafts

Okay, okay... building shelves is outside my normal creative streaks, but hear me out... it's for the yarn and fabrics. Does that make it better? Maybe not, but here we are! I only wish I had taken more pictures of the process. That's the trouble with being goal oriented and on a time crunch, no time for pictures!

If you look to the right side of this picture, not on the shelves yet, I stacked most of my boxes of yarn and fabric so I could build the shelves where the boxes were stacked. Now that the boxes are stacked on the shelves, the rest of the garage is coming along nicely. I even managed to get rid of a few things that were hidden under a pile or two of boxes! By the way, this was all finished at the beginning of January 2023.

It may be out of the norm, but hope you enjoyed this little side-adventure, too!

Blessings and Peace!

Adventures in Hats

As I have mentioned before, I tend to make things in batches. This time it's hats featuring bulky yarns. I experimented with a couple of different hat constructions and knitting patterns this time around. I especially like the pompom hats (pictured at the bottom) because they have a simple beauty to them.

This hat (above and modeled by Mani below) features a basic cable. Sized for a child, this hat would be a great option for a cozy princess.

On the basketweave kick, this pink beauty is sized for an adult large.  Accented with a knit one, purl one border, the basketweave pattern turned out cozy, too. I will likely make something similar to this one again.

Also, sized for an adult large, this one reminds me of cotton candy. Stockinette is probably my favorite visual texture. There's a reason knit beanies are so popular.

This pastel rendition is identical in pattern to the cotton candy hat immediately above. It's hard to decide which color variation I like better.

This slouchy beanie is sized for an adult large. What makes this hat different from the others is that it is crocheted instead of knit. Inspired by another design I found several years ago, I free-handed a loose, comfy version. I think it turned out pretty good.

While I enjoy making cables and basketweaves, there is something about a simple stockinette that really appeals to me. Even crochet doesn't compare to the simplicity of the stockinette stitch. 

 

I hope you enjoyed seeing this collection of hats as much as I enjoyed making them!

Blessings and Peace!
