it's a laptop case!
I feel like I've been working on this forever. Probably because I forgot about it after I bought the yarn and started it in NOVEMBER. As far as the yarn goes, it's three lovely shades of green, orange and cream, thick thick thick. THICK & QUICK to be exact. From the makers of Wool-Ease. I might have used to small of needles, but I wanted to make sure that it would hold shape once I put a heavy laptop in it. Charming!
This is the hat that I finished for my boss. She's a really sweet lady that I've known for all my life. Recently, she just had a bout with cancer and just came back to work. I love the funky hats she likes to wear and it gave me inspiration. So I asked her favorite color and went from there. I love this pattern. Seed stitch is so cute and after that, this hat is so easy to knit up with simple knitting in a round. Props also to my dad for spotting a bunch of old buttons at a yard sale and promptly buying them.
I've also got this to show
It's the back to my sweater! Still unblocked... : /
I finally got a project somewhat completely that didn't take a few hours or days. I'm so bad about that. I have no attention span when it comes to big projects because I like to finish and move on to the next thing. I feel a great sense of pride in the time I've took to get this far. Hopefully I 'll start the front soon and finish the sucker off. For now, I've started a new hat and its super fun to knit up. Simple slouch hat, but I've done a modified moss stitch? I'm not sure what to call it.
I'm not completely in love with it yet. Hopefully I'll have enough yarn to finish it, see as it's a little larger than the typical one skein hats that I do. I also have to figure out how to decrease it without breaking that pattern. any suggestions? Let me know.
Welp, that's all for now! Ta-ta.
