I'm once again joining Kat and the Unravelers for the second Unraveled Wednesday of 2022. There hasn't been any unraveling this week, and in fact, there has been a mild case of startitis. I've knit a grand total of two rows on my Antler cardigan, and my Musselburgh hat has reached the colorful car knitting stage.
But before we left NJ to drive down to MD on Sunday, I grabbed a skein of yarn and needles for another Bankhead hat. Justin has been wearing his a lot and it looked so good on him that I thought I also needed one.
So now I have another Bankhead cast on and am happily knitting lots of k1 tbl, p1 ribbing. I want to finish both of my hats-in-progress so I'll be all ready to start Hunter Hammersen's hat as soon as she releases the pattern the week of Jan. 24th and I get the yarn from Gauge Dyeworks!
Reading has slowed down a bit, and I didn't finish anything new during the past week. I am listening to The Sentence but got side-tracked when I was lucky enough to be approved for Douglas Stuart's Young Mungo from NetGalley. I've also started Agatha of Little Neon, and even though I'm only about ten pages in I think I like this nun story better than Matrix.
What are you making and reading this week?
Your Musselburgh is so colorful! I love it. And I also love the dark green for your Bankhead. What color did you order from Gauge for the HH hat? I'm still knitting my holiday socks and am enjoying being back in Three Pines for a bit!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love those stripes you've got going for your Musselburgh hat, Bonny. I don't think I'd be able to put it down . . . for all the excitement of The Next Stripe!!! (Somehow, I tend to knit a lot "faster" when I'm knitting with a good self-striping yarn.) I am waiting with great anticipation for my "feather hat" yarn to arrive from Gauge Dye Works. I know I'll drop everthing and cast on for Hunter's new hat as soon as I get my actual hands on yarn + pattern. Happy reading!
ReplyDeletelove the striping immensely! makes the cold weather cheerful :)
ReplyDeleteI adore the colors in your Musselburgh! It's going to be such a cheerful hat.
ReplyDeleteThanks for mentioning NetGalley. I was thinking during our discussion last night that I really needed to sign up, so I've just done so and requested my first title.
I really like your Musselburgh stripes! I am nodding to Kym's comment about knitting faster with striping yarn! (it feels very true! lol)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the heads up on the Feather Hat yarn! Ordering now! :)
Oh, I love your hats, Bonny! The stripes are lovely and cheerful, and the dark green is actually one of my favorite colors, so they are both winners IMHO. You are quite the hat knitter lately. I have started and stopped several books lately, so a bit of floundering around, but I will settle on something soon, I hope. (How many more trips, Bonny?)
ReplyDeleteBoth hats: excellent! I want to knit both of them.
ReplyDeleteThose stripes are fantastic! And what color did you order for the Hunter Hammersen's hat? I can't choose!
ReplyDeleteHats off to you for some beautiful hats. Bankhead is a great pattern and of course you should have one of your own. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your Musselburgh yarn! I'm knitting a stripy yarn, too, but the colors you have are just gorgeous. Enjoy knitting AND wearing your hat!!
