Fairy Fuzzy Brim

Car line knitting continues! This is the Fairy Tail Beanie that I started during my cast on fever. It’s going to be another Bluestem Beanie.

The DK pink color is some Potions Yarns in Dryad DK in the Fairy Tale color and the mohair is more Stranded Dyeworks Mohair Silk in Patisserie. The DK has cashmere in it and it really helps soften the feel of that mohair.

I just turned and reattached the folded brim. I had my kit with me and I was able to place a BOR marker this time. I forgot that last version of this hat and I messed up the patterning. I just need to dig out my US 8 needles and establish the patterning. It’s all popcorn knitting after that!

Happy Knitting!!

More Floof

I have been steadily cranking on my Fluffy Sockhead Hat made my Apothefaery Fibers and I very quickly realized I was going to run out of suri alpaca. I had some funds laying around that I had earmarked for the (cancelled) Knitting in the Heartland Event. So I decided to get more suri alpaca and support an indie dyer at the same time.

I hit up Apothefaery Luxury fibers and added four skeins to my cart.

I purchased two skeins of Snowdrift (white) and two skeins of Sterling Silver (grey) thinking that this will be nice solid colors to have in my stash to work up with the perfect future project, no matter the other yarn color. In the meantime I am going to skein up one of the snowdrift skeins and add to my aforementioned Fluffy Sockhead hat. It will be lighter than the original suri alpaca skein but will end up adding a third color block section to the hat.

I’m just going to consider it an unintentional design feature! Happy Knitting!!
