 This is a set of 2 hats and a pair of fingerless mittens I knitted for Katherine last year. She already had a scarf to match. She did have a hat but she machine washed and dried it so, since it is wool, it shrunk. After locating the right yarn I made her these. The variegated yarn is Manos del Uruguay Silk Blend. The bright pink is Cascade 100% Peruvian Highland wool. The 2 purple yarns are Australian Superfine Merino. The fingerless gloves are a pattern from Yarn aspirations. The first hat is the Slouched Tuva Hat (found on Revelry). The second hat is a basic hat with a ribbed brim tall enough to fold up.

Heirloom Baby Blanket


 I made this a few years ago. It is called Treasured Heirloom Baby Blanket. It is a Lion Brand pattern. You can find it on Ravelry. I think I used Baby Coordinates yarn. It's nice and soft. I don't have it any more. I think I sold it.

Hats

 I knitted a bunch of striped hats. The hat in the back row on the left is crocheted, but the rest are knitted. So, there ate two things to consider here. First, I like color. Second, I don't like to waste even small amounts of yarn; especially if it's a color or a yarn that I really like. So the result is stripes.

Breathe and Hope

 This is my Breathe and Hope shawl. I wish I knew what the yarns were that I used. I know it was something in my stash and it was fingering weight yarn. Two different yarns; one solid and one variegated. The pattern is by Casapinka and is available on Ravalry. This was one of my 2020 projects. It was the first project my knitting group did when we started meeting again. I think we each had to start over a couple of times but we got through it.
