Knitting After Dark

I am WOEFULLY behind on my KnitGirllls podcast, like months. So I camped out on the couch and stayed up way to late binging YouTube. The silver lining? My Sea Slug hat got quite a lot of knitting done on it.

This is a Malabrigo sport weight yarn. And while it does take more stitches and longer to knit, it sure does make a nice fabric. And in this color the speckles are spacing out quite nicely. They are random but even and that makes my brain happy.

I think only a couple more inches and I can crank out the decreases! Happy Knitting!!

Car Line Knitting

Back at the school grind. Most of the time my kids attend after school care but this week I needed to make them car riders. And I forget how long it takes elementary school kiddos and parents to load in. I had LOTS of time to knit.

My sea slug hat is not growing very fast. This one lives in my purse and I have been swamped so that I haven’t needed purse knitting until now. I am sticking with a folded stockinette brim and in sport weight yarn it is taking FOREVER. Or maybe it only feels like it after spending the last three months using worsted weight yarn.

Happy Knitting!!

Cast On: Sea Slug Hat

I dug out the Arroyo and got my next hat started after finishing the SSK Tweed Hat. This colorway is called Sea Slug so PB and I decided this should be called the Sea Slug Hat.

I’m sticking with the 112 stitch count and stockinette for the whole hat. I think the speckles are enough interest that plain knitting will show them off best. PB thinks this hat might need to be hers. But I hate to tell her that it’s gonna be big. I guess we can grow into it!

Happy Knitting!!
