Weekend Recap #1

Here's to Weekend Recap #1!

So this week was a busy week in my life, I started my own website on Monday and was trying to build that up. I also got ALOT of knitting done! But the week flew by really quick and didn't realize how much I actually got done. Well any ways, I will first share what I finished. 

My fist project was another Snoodie hat, from the pattern that I designed.  It is made from Isaac's color way Merino blend, which was very soft considering it was 50% acrylic. That pattern is aw-fly fun and i am definitely going on work on another one. 

















The next Project was a design I was working on, the Riptide Beanie, It was knitted with Jubilation Kettle dyed Merino Yarn.  It is 2by2 rib, which makes it extra stretchy. I would change how long I knitted it, though. It is a little tight, when i wanted it to be a slouchy. But over all I liked the hat. Merino yarn is so luxurious to work with and it makes the project so much fun! The pattern is a breeze and it was a great movie project... I would like you guy's opinion. does the variegated yarn take away from the ribbing? Any ways that was a fun project. 








The next one was a crochet pattern from Repeat Crafter Me. It the baby owl hat... isn't it so adorable! The pattern was a perfectly written pattern and great overall. I messed up with the eye though so the left one is smaller than the right, it sorta makes it look like the owl from the Tootsie Pop Commercial!







I made 3 crocheted beanies, to go into my shop, so if you head over there you can see those.


MY WIPS:

Right now on my needles I have 1 pair of socks, which I am about to give up on...

I have a baby sweater which will probably be done by next weeks post, and that is it for my wips.


RANDOM THINGS:

So this week I ordered some wool yarn on etsy. It is 100% wool, and is sorta scratchy, so the shop owner told me to wash it... HOW DO YOU WASH A HUGE HANK OF YARN?!!  If yo know how to please tell, because I don't know anything about wool, or animal fiber...

Another random fact is that Cables are in right now.. so if your a designer and want to make something that gets hits, use  cables.

Well that's it for the Weekend Recap, remember it is my first one, so its a little choppy. Thanks for stopping by, and please Subscribe!
