Two more things finished. Expect to see a lot of knitting progress in the coming weeks. I have a lot of stress in my life & I need to keep as busy as possible to keep from melting into a puddle of tears.

Carmel Cabled Hat in Marlabrigo, Forest Colorway.

US 4 & 6 needles

Mods: I cast on provincially and did an upturned hem so it looks more professional.

What a quick knit! I am totally in love with this yarn. So incredibly yummy in all ways. I have a bunch ordered (what yarn diet?!) for more hats. This was going to be for my dad but it came out beanie sized because I momentarly forgot about loosing inches do to stretch. All in all this is a fabulous pattern. Perfetly written, very clear & very satisfying. I really recomend adding this to your que asap. I’m also going to do a Preita first, I’m going to knit this again. O_O 

I love how all the cables & twisted stitches meet in the middle.

Not a very flattering picture, but you can see how nicely they all come together. Also you can see that I do wear my Wayzata Sweater quite regularly My BIL is going to flip out over this hat

I also finished my first crochet project. The Fat Bottom Bag from The Happy Hooker. Due to my inability to read directions correctly I had to rip this back twice. But it’s finished & I learned a lot. I like the fabric crochet makes but man, what a pain in the ass. I had to do 6 diffrent twists & turns & loops for each damn stitch. What a pain in the ass. I’m ok with the end result, but not estatic. My niece on the other hand loves this bag so it now belongs to her.
