We are heading to PA today for my cousin’s wedding! It will be wonderful to see everyone …. haven’t had a large family gathering in quite some time. I intend to take some knitting for the car ride – although I may do some of the driving.
gotta run and pack my dancing shoes…
I am proud to say that Carmel, my friend the new-knitter-who-sold-her-knitting-soul for a pumpkin hat, has become a confident and creative knitter in her own right! She has been cranking out various fruit caps for all the new babies in her life. One of these is was an apple hat. This is a simple, rolled brim cap with a brown stem at the top and an appliqué leaf – it can be found on the Knitlist. Anyway, Carmel preferred the double-stranded rolled brim and increases of the Fiber Trends patterns — thought they looked cuter and would stay in place better.
Guess what she did? She merged the two patterns! Remember my peeps, that this is a woman who a mere month ago couldn’t imagine following a pattern let alone striking out on her own and changing one!
let’s hear a big round of applause!
