Unraveled Wednesday

Joining Kat and friends for Unraveled Wednesday.


This yarn is becoming this.


It's a Rikke Hat for Ryan, but since I'm flying back to Colorado very early tomorrow morning to help him car shop after his accident, I'm not going to knit much farther until I have the opportunity to have him try it on for fit. He does have a fairly large head and I want to knit it with the right amount of slouchiness for him. Unraveling may have to occur, but hopefully, there won't be too much. 

That is why my lovely sunset yarn is wound and ready for plane knitting. I can not wait to see how this knits up!


I'm also taking Just Mercy and The Body along for plane reading. It's a four-hour flight, but I think I've got enough reading, knitting, and downloaded movies to entertain myself for much longer.

What are you making and reading this week?

  1. Love how the hat is knitting up -- it looks rather like handspun!

    Travel safely!

  2. I hope you have a safe trip! I always overpack reading and knitting, I would rather have too much than on enough! Love the hat and hope it fits.

  4. I hope you have a great trip to Colorado! Hopefully, you will find the perfect car at the perfect price (or very nearly) quickly. I absolutely love that Rikke hat. I need to make one before it gets really cold here. My experience is that you cannot have too many things prepared to entertain yourself when on public transportation. You may not need them, but if you do, they are there and ready. I am almost finished with Philip Pullman's second Dust volume, The Secret Commonwealth. It is over 600 pages, but I have really enjoyed seeing what Lyra is up to these days. Just Mercy coming up soon.

  5. Safe travels and good luck with the car shopping (also sending a few good thoughts that you won't get more snow and ice)! I think you've got a great mix of yarn and books for your flight! ...and Ryan's hat looks great - yes, like handspun - and how wonderful you'll get the fit just right in person. Hugs!

  6. I've had my eye on that hat pattern for Dale - I love how it looks in your variegated yarn. Have a safe trip and enjoy that time on the plane, it's perfect for knitting and reading!

  8. What a fabulous hat! I wish you a safe and successful trip to Colorado. I'm sure you'll feel better, seeing Ryan in person after his accident. And while car-buying is a total drag, the two of you can celebrate once you're finished -- and that will take some of the sting out it all. XO (Can't wait to see that sunset-yarn knit up!)

  11. Safe travels to Colorado. Our weather is improving, though cold today! Ryan's hat looks wonderful and most likely very needed at present time.

  12. Safe Travels and good luck with speedy car shopping! Glad you are going out to see Ryan in person (that way you can really confirm that he is ok - Mom's need to do that). Sounds like you have packed the right amount of projects and reading material - have fun and hoping the Weather Gods are with you!

  13. Im still reading Death in the Grand Canyon. Seems I'll never go there! Too many die from heat exposure, cold exposure, falling, being in a plane crash over the canyon, drowning and anything else ...oh lightening! It is quite the complication of stories which all have a common theme of humans overestimating their abilities in this National park
    Knitting a gift hat and want to be DONE with it!

  16. May the car shopping be a success. The hat looks great. How nice Ryan will be able to try it on for size. Sounds like you are set for four hours. Always good to have a little extra knitting and reading material. Safe travels.
