Ok. So I knit this hat over 2 years ago with yarn from a dyer who has blocked me for being me haha 😆 so I haven’t shared this project yet. I knit it for my husband but he didn’t wear it often as it felt itchy on his forehead, so this year for Christmas I lined it with fleece for him 💕

The pattern is The Oslo Hat by @petiteknit

Solid or self stripping?? What’s your jam??

I’m working on some sock samples for an upcoming class in January and I definitely like stripy socks best. They are just fun!

The solid color socks are knit using the Slow Morning DK sock pattern by @woollen.sun

Finally!!!! I’ve been saying for over a year! The Lost in NY 2.0 knitting chart is up for FREE on my website!

It is more true to the original hat from Home Alone 2 but it does have many rounds of 3 color colorwork, which is what I was avoiding in the original pattern 😉

Find it at www.cozyhappyheads.com

It felt like a blink and realized I haven’t posted in almost a month haha September was busy! Soaking in as much baby as I can before she grows so big. 😭 It was also my husbands, youngest son and my birthday in September. Baby shower, family pictures and a town dance, I finished a pair of fingerless mitts and started another. Canning, garden harvest, yard clean up, home schooling and now it’s already October! Love my busy life 💕

FREE PATTERN BELOW 👇

First off just let me say that working with this yarn from @symfonieyarns has been so enjoyable. Next DK weight sweater quantity I need I and definitely to get some of their Luna line. The silk content in it makes us feel so luxurious ♥️

Twisted Ear-warmer.

Materials:
-4mm 16 inch circular needles or DPNs
- 1 Skien of Symfonie yarns Luna
(200 yards DK weight yarn)
-Darning needle

Cast on 65 stitches, I used a long tail cast on.

Row 1. Purl all stitches, turn.

Row 2. Knit all stitches then stretch your row around your needles to join and continue working in the round. (If you are using DPNs you can skip the first 2 rows)

Round 3 until end. Knit every stitch all around until you have approximately 5 feet of yarn remaining. (The tube should be approximately 24 inches long.)

Cast off your stitches and sew up as shown in this video.

A few of the ways I was knitting on my project over the weekend… when I had good lighting to take video 😆 The yarn is from @symfonieyarns Luna in the Honey color and it is knitting up so nicely! ♥️ The 25% silk makes the yarn so soft and I can’t wait to finish up this project to show you guys what I’m making myself! Any guesses??

Did you get up to any knitting this weekend?? I got to cast on with this gorgeously soft yarn from @symfonieyarns Of course I picked this stunning golden yellow color called Honey and the Luna line of DK yarn is 75% merino 25% silk, so soft!!

I don’t normally wind my balls by hand but it was too nice outside to not slow down and enjoy the sunshine for a bit ☀️

My video review of this @lanternmoonhandcrafted Heirloom needle set can be found on my latest reel. For those who like to read instead here it’s comes….. 😉

The Heirloom interchangeable needle set comes in a beautifully embroidered Khadi silk case! It contains 10 pairs of 5 inch needle tips from 3 to 8 mm; 24, 42 & 40 inch nylon coated stainless steel swivel cords; 5 tassel stitch markers; 4 wooden end caps and 2 long handles tightening tools.

The needles are made of ebony wood with a liquid silk finish and they are SO enjoyable to knit with! The yarn slides over them so smoothly unlike any other needles I have used before!

Using the tightening tools made connecting the needle to the swivel cord so easy and got them on so tight that I had to use the tool to take them apart. They definitely won’t come loose while knitting.

The 24k gold coated needle ends connected with the cords seamlessly, the yarn did not snag at all and the swivel cords were very flexible.

There were extra empty pockets in the case to add your own accessories with even a skinny pocket to put a darning needle in.

Overall I would definitely recommend this set, it is great for garment and accessory knits. If you knit alot of hats I would get the Ancestry set that has 4 inch needles and a 16 inch cord.

My review of the Heirloom needle set that came in the kit @lanternmoonhandcrafted sent me! I will also put my review in writing in a post on my grid. But over all I would definitely recommend this needle set for knitters!
If you are looking to find a set like this you can visit www.lanternmoon.com and head to the bottom of the page to click on stores, to find one in your area/country.

For the baby headband I used 22g of bulky wool yarn. The 8mm needles and I knit back and forth until the yarn was almost used up. Bind off and sew up with a bow 😉

1x1 color work can be so relaxing for me…. Would I want to do it every single row? No haha probably not. But when I get to it, I enjoy it. I started these pair of color work mittens shortly after the last ones. They are almost done but again, they are a gift knit haha so I can’t share too much of them yet 🤪 Don’t mind the shaky camera work, that’s what happened when you had your teenage son to take a quick video 😂

P.S. Can you see my pregnant belly under my knitting. I kinda miss it, thought I had a whole extra week with it yet. 😢But there’s also nothing like soaking in all these newborn snuggles ♥️♥️♥️
