The first project is for a swap I am taking part in. Will post pictures once my partner receives her package. I don't think she reads my blog but you never knowwwwwwww.
The other hat I can talk about. In my knitting process I create the yarn feels/looks heavenly and I can't resist or I see a design that I must try. It was the former for the second hat. I spotted bernat Mosiac during a yarn sale not too long ago. I had never worked with it before. The sample knits in the store caught my eyes and before I knew it I had two balls in the fantasy and calypso colourways. I knew because the yarn was striped and colourful I needed a simple design to highlight it.

I made a Pom-Pom from wool-ease in eggplant. I love the way it brings out the burgundy colour in the yarn. I see myself making a few more hats with Pom-poms :)

I definitely don't regret buying clover Pom-Pom makers. It's much better than the one I got a few years ago.
The hat is on the big side but that's ok with me.

Loved this. so True, Sewing is definitely my distraction and escape. But it is so worth it as you can relate with the knitting. I am still working on the work in progress. I got a few. oops. yet I made that scarf you saw on my blog in no time. oops. I am working on it. Time saving sewing to help me get through my projects.
ReplyDeleteTotally enjoyed this post. The pom pom is so cute. :)
