Knitting a swatch is so important before starting a pattern. I went from an U.S. 11 in pattern directions to a 10.5 to a U.S. 10 to get the correct swatch size for this chenille yarn. Tomorrow I can start knitting the hooded, short robe to be a gift for someone special. #lovetoknit ##stressbuster

I gave my first knitted cat hat to my sister going through chemo. I started a new one Saturday and finished it for me yesterday. #Swish bulky weight in Garnet Heather #katknits #lovetoknit

I am so happy with my new "Jordi" hat and mitten set. It knit up quickly and easily. I have to admit, I had never knitted mittens before. Why did I wait this long??

In progress: my second “gully” in this beautiful 100% organic linen yarn from Italy by #Quince&Co. It’s too cold for me to wear tanks in San Franciscon - it makes a great layering tank!#katknits #naturalfibers #organicyarn #lovetoknit #knitting #imagiknit #supportyourlocalyarnshop

#HausschuheBooties by Ines M. They were a fun knit and I finished them in an afternoon. I blocked them using 2 medicine cups in each bootie. It worked perfectly to create their form.
