I also managed to finish all of my Christmas knitting with about 5 hours to spare.
This was a blanket for Dylan Mae, whose bedroom is supposedly very aquatic themed, so I am thrilled with how this turned out. It was a modified pattern that I found of YO K1 YO K2 YO PSSO I think. I started with 6 stitches, increased to 12 stitches and then began the repeat on every row, and it naturally moved itself over. So brilliant, possibly should have written it down in more detail, but I will be able to figure it out again I am sure. Then I completed a ruffle on it, which could have done with some severe blocking...but then again it works and looks more organic.
Then I finished these:
All based on the Reverie Pattern from Ravelry, but modified slightly in the the brim and the closure. If you want an easy approximately 5 hour long project with fantastic results, knit this hat, you will be pleased you did.
I also completed:
These two snazzy hats, which if I do say so myself, look awesome! I still need to tweek this pattern slightly, but I won't be making another one for a while, so I should either do it sooner rather than later, or just wait until I get a request for another one.Not much else is going on, the nails are growing, albeit slowly, but I am pleased with them in their current state. And the rest of the world continues to turn which is a bonus.
Happy New Year Everyone.
And don't make resolutions, just be fantastic every day.
