Hello, Internet!
I have wanted to do this whole knitting blog business for a really long time, but something about the gorgeous weather today and a particularly boring pharmacy management class gave me the energy to give it a go! I'm going to use this blog to show-and-tell you about the projects I am currently working on, give the run down on some cool techniques I've run into, and maybe post a few patterns every now and then! (I've only made one pattern so far, but it was crazy fun so I want to do much more of that from now on!)
So here we go! Lately I've been stung by the Beekeeper's Quilt bee!
I have been what the cool kids are referring to as "puffing" in my idling hours since the end of July. I've even convinced a few girls in my knitting group to pick up the puffs. We've started a game called "Puff Puff Pass", where we knit puffs from each others skeins during our weekly meetings so we get a nice variety of colors in our quilts. Now I have 166 "hexipuffs". Of course I need, like, a thousand of these things to cover my bed. A hundred and sixty-six feels like a drop in the bucket.
But every time I start feeling overwhelmed by the numbers game, I just pull out the patch of honeycomb goodness that I have already stitched together and imagine how awesome it is going to look once it is finished.
Lastly, I wanted to share pictures of my latest finished projects! Both are patterns from the exceptionally talented Alex Tinsley who is one of my favorite knitting designers. She makes lots of cool hat patterns and I make a lot of hats. It works. :)
This is Catacomb in Malabrigo Rios (Coco).
So that's it for now! I have a free pattern I wrote up a few months back and released on Ravelry, but I am going to make a post here with the pattern in it for people who aren't on Ravelry (if you aren't, you totally should be!).
I am super excited to be a part of the knitting blogging world and I hope to post more helpful content in the future!
