I’ve had a busy week with knitting! I finished another hat, this one for myself. I’m happy to be done with hats for now.
The pattern is Sitka Spruce from Tin Can Knits. I like the look of it, but I found the stitching a little fiddley. I don’t know if that is because it was a difficult knit or because I have a cold making it hard to concentrate. I suspect it is the latter.
Now that I’m done with the hat I’m making a pair of matching mittens. I hope to finish the mittens quickly and move on to a sweater for Elliot.
A note on the yarn I’m using for this: yes, it is that bright. I don’t know why I bought fluorescent green yarn, but I think it is safe to assume I was either buying yarn on-line after two glasses of wine or it looked less bright on the website. I don’t hate the color, but I would normally not pick it. I keep losing hats, so I’m using this yarn (if I’m going to lose another hat I don’t want it to be made from yarn I adore).
Happy knitting!

I always wonder about finding the right colour if you order yarn online. Right now, I’m lucky that i have a big stash and no reason to be ordering online, but was wondering how people get the right colour.
The hat looks great!

Great hat!! I’ve bought a similar shade of green by mistake. It mustn’t photograph well:)

I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who bought bright green yarn on accident. You are right, it must be hard to photograph well.

It’s funny, I think the green looks so joyful! But neons definitely aren’t everyone’s cup of tea for sure.

I hope in the middle of January the brightness makes the dark cold less miserable.

That is a pretty pattern! The color will be welcome in the middle winter when it is all dreary 🙂
