Majes blindfold

One of the fun things about being a maker is when those eminently-knitworthy people in your life request something very specific that that they can't find available. So when my dear Majes asked for a "dark colored blindfold like thing because I had the feel of sleep masks but I really need a sleep mask", I dug around in my stash until I found just the thing.

Yarn: Bear Brand Ever Match Sport and Sweater in black

Yarn Source: Somerville Yarn Swap

Needles: US 1 - 2.25mm

Pattern: (made-up) crocheted provisional cast-on and then kitchenered close the "tube"

This yarn has been in my stash *ahem* a long time. Like since (now grown) my kid was in middleschool. And even then it was being destashed from someone else's stash. This yarn is *old* and long since discontinued. And I still have a bunch of it.

FO: Bulky Toques

While out on vacation in western Massachusetts this year, I had picked up 2 skeins of this beautiful yarn at Colorful Stitches in Lenox. 

Yarn: Urth Yarns Koozoo Yarn

Yarn Supplier: Colorful Stitches

Pattern: improvised based on gauge

Since I have a tiny head, 2 skeins was totally enough to knit a hat for myself and my hiking partner Majes though. And since this was a super bulky knit, they were done super quick,

Zoom Loom Experiment

A friend gifted me with some of their hand dyed yarn and so I was on the hunt with the perfect thing to do with it.

Fortunately he is also a fantastic weaving inspiration, so I finally broke out my Zoom Loom.

Super fun! I love the way that the colors shift differently than if I had knit or crocheted with it. Now I just need to figure out a neat idea to do with these squares.
