Finished ‘Melt the Ice’ hat with FDT and NoICE beads added to the tassel
Decided to add some bling to the tassel of my ‘Melt the Ice’ hat.
I will definitely do less ribbing and more stockinette on the next one!
(pattern purchased on Ravelry)

This is a close up of a costume (for the stage) that is being hand knitted from cotton string. They’ve told me it is usually used for the backs of carpets. It is off white and it’s Reverse Stocking Stitch with some deliberate holes ‘flea bites’. I’m not enjoying this job - the string has no ‘give’ and it makes my hands hurt
This close up shows some red brown - (the colour of a red squirrel) hand knitting in plain Stocking Stitch. It is knitted from Rowan ‘Kid Silk Haze’ which is mohair with 30% silk. I’m knitting this held double - 2 strands together but it is still like knitting with wisps. This will be a lady’s garment in a movie - and I have to make 2 - as one will be ‘broken down’ because the character is having a hard life.
#showmeyourknits - it’s What’s on Your Needles #whatsonyourneedles this week. I’m working flat out on 2 costume commissions right now - tight deadlines! Not my designs & I can’t show you much but there’s quite a contrast ‘tween them … one is string - the other fine & luxurious #handknitting #knitsky
First chunky hand-knit blanket is up and available on the Etsy shop page. More to come!

My real love is Estonian lace; I'll always go for anything with nupps.

If you have read about the hats, but aren't up on the backstory.

And I have qualified for my EIGHTH sock madness! That number blew my mind this morning. My first one was like my seventh pair of socks ever and now I can’t even keep track of how many I’ve made. Here is to another great #sockmadness year! #handknitting #sockknitting
