Blue Shimmer Hat is Done!
Here it is right off the needles – its a little wonky here and there. However, gentle wet blocking got everything all smoothed out. Very happy with how it turned out! Close up at an angle to show off the purl bump texture here and there 🙂 Very relieved that this went as well as… Continue reading Blue Shimmer Hat is Done!

For the curious, you can track Santa either on NORAD’s Santa Tracker here or on Google’s Santa tracker here. They are both wacky yet informative fun 🙂 Happy Christmas Eve!

However, it is knitting up very cushy and warm. The first section was Leicester Longwool, the second is Jacob. The Leicester… Continue reading Odyssey Progress
