hats

I was going through my year last weekend, and decided it would be nice to pull together my knitting highlights and the steps I've taken to build my site! So here it is: the best of Worsted Knitt in 2010!

January
I started the year by publishing a free sock pattern, namely the Ripple Moss Socks. They're now at 10 projects on Ravelry!
I also finished the beautiful Owls sweater, which hasn't been getting much use, though.

February
The highlight in February was finishing a shawl in two weeks - Tulppaani for Ravelympics. I also started selling stitch markers "for real" on Worsted-Knitt.net.

I'm heading to my local animal shelter's Easter Bazar tomorrow morning, and have some knits ready for it.

I've made some bulky hats:
Pattern - Chunky Button Hat
Yarn - Filati Funky, a really bulky wool / acrylic mix. This happens to be the first yarn I ever knit in my "new knitter life" in 2006!
Needles - 10 mm dpns (!)
Modifications - I did change the crown of some of these hats, plus I attached no buttons, but made pom poms instead.

Two of these I can count to my Hamster month total - the annual Finnish knit from stash exclusively KAL.

I might be able to count the lovely, lovely Esel as well. Esel means Donkey in German, and that's the name of this pattern. I received it as a copy from a book - I have no idea who the designer is and from which book the pattern is copied from!
