I got a ball of superwash merino yarn with my Presto 10” rigid heddle loom, but the yellow/orange color didn’t appeal to me. My spouse suggested adding a red to make it lean towards a “fall leaves” color, so I dipped into my stash to find another supe…
Had a tiny bit of rainbow yarn left – going to make another hat, and will use more Bare yarn if I run out of Rainbow. This one I plan to make a little bit shorter than my previous swirl hat since I may have knit that one a bit long.
Not sure if I knit it too long or not – I measured 5 inches (per pattern instructions) but did not stretch the natural ribbing of the hat to get that measurement – I measured the hat flat, but relaxed.
We’ll see if it’s too big when the baby arrives….

Looks like unwashed gauge is 22 stitches in 4 inches
This makes it closer to a 6-12 month sweater than the 0-6 month size I had cast on, so I may knit to the 6-12 month lengths and sleeves. It’s only a half inch difference on the body le…

Using the short rows described in the comments of a Flax hacks blog post to adjust the neckline:
To do short row shaping for the Flax it goes like th…

This is a “swatch project”. I’m mostly using this as a gauge swatch for larger family sweaters out of this yarn. 😉
Based on some of the comments on Provincial Tweed (that it runs closer to DK) I’m casting on size 5 and 7 needles to star…
Doing a THIRD Bloom dress in a row (first two were gifts – this one is for my daughter). This one is using Capretta instead of Felici, so since it’s a solid color I hope it will show off the lace better.

Washed and blocked, this dress la…
Started putting together everything for this project because I have to do the 3 hour pregnancy glucose test (I failed the 1 hour) and I wanted an easy project to take with me and keep me occupied.
Using size 2 / 2.75mm needles for the garter section,…
