Swiftie Decreases

Merry Christmas Eve! The Swiftie Hat is SOO close to being done. Here is where I stopped yesterday in my staff meeting.

I have ZERO clue where my US 5 DPNs are so I am thinking I will just use magic loop or two circulars to finish the hat. I don’t have any energy to go digging through the craft supplies. Santa is almost here!

Happy Knitting!!

Swiftie Chart

Christmas is upon us and I’m procrasti-knitting. I can’t put this Swiftie Beanie down.

The brim is done and I have worked the set up to get started on the colorwork chart.I need to get some focus time so that I don’t mess up the chart or work it backwards like my Crown Town Hat, lol.

I have counted and started the first few stitches for the chart and stopped for better light. And besides, Duke was pouting and waiting for his head scritches….

Happy Knitting!!

Casting On: Swiftie Hat

I couldn’t help myself, I cast on another hat. I am staring a Touchdown Beanie by Katie Carlson with a Chiefs kit from TreasureGoddess and her fall sale. I am calling this one the Swiftie Beanie though. I have a colleague turning 50 next year and she both loves Chiefs and Taylor Swift.

I had just enough mojo to power through a TON of 2×2 ribbing for the brim. I extended the ribbing a bit so that she can fold the brim. But I do not plan to turn and sew it down, at least just not yet.

Happy Knitting!!
