SSK 2025 Conference Bag

SSK or Super Summer Knittogether is a great knitting retreat in Nashville. Ran by the venerable Laura and Leslie of the Knitgirllls! I showed up in the nick of time for opening ceremonies and my goodie bag.

I chose yarn and fiber in my selection, both of which are SSK exclusives. The fiber Cessium Yarns Shaniko top and the sock yarn is Supernove Yarn Desmos Sock. The bag itself is GREAT and then there was a cup, tape measure, pen, yarn gauge and some needle stops.

I am naming my Chuck and Larry! Stay tuned for more shenanigans and lots of wool fumes…

Happy Knitting!!

Cast On: Medusa Hat

I decided to dust off my tennis shoes and explore downtown Nashville while at SSK. I walked around the campus of Vanderbuilt and explored Music Row.

I ended up on a rooftop bar with my newest cast on and an ice cold beer. An adorable young musician was playing acoustic guitar covers and some of his originals. I sat for an hour or so and enjoyed my beverage and got my new project started.

This is my last skein of Malabrigo from my Yarn Barn trip and I am making yet another Rachelle recipe hat. This is 88 stitches on US 8s. This version will have a folded stockinette brim. This color is called Medusa so I am super originally calling this my Medusa Hat.

Love the memories that will be attached to this one!
