Hello Crafty People!
Wow! The Rumblers sure have been quiet this summer! I know that I’ve been busy! I’m juggling two jobs, not much time off, the hottest summer ever, and super dry weather. I know that I haven’t been in a knitting mood…
… so I assume Amy and Julianna aren’t in the knitting mood either… Oh well, that just means that I can strengthen my lead over them! Muhahahaha!
I will admit that I’ve finally stepped into the darkness of ordering yarn online. It’s a scary, fun, terrifying world… and I love it. I went in on a Knit Picks order with some of my local knitting girls. It was awesome! I ordered some Wool of the Andes and Worsted weight Chroma. Addictive and beautiful (and cheap too)! I knew the minute that I saw Chroma it was meant to be stripes within stripes! And what is a better summer project than a hat?
Never enough stripes
I love it so much!
The decreases are the best part!
Here’s the point break down:
Hat = 1pt
150 yards = 1.5pts
Design (out of my own little head) = 1pt
TOTAL: 3.5pts
Not a huge amount, but I will take it!
And what’s an Emily post without a head shot?
Stay cool kids!
I LOVE the stripes. The view from the top is the best!
Thanks! I totally love it!
Yay! That hat is simply beautiful! Amazing yarn choice – I’ve got to get my hands on some chroma
I love the hat, chroma IS meant to be in stripes. I want a white and chroma buttermint striped pullover…but i already have some for a blanket AND fingerless mitts lol! This summer here has zapped my knitting motivation too. Soooo hot. ugh. Finally back at it now though!
I think all of us have been zapped too! Cooler weather is coming, I even saw some leaves that have turned! So excited!
