I’ve been knitting a lot lately and have finished a few more projects.
This is the Her Majesty Scarf. It’s made of really nice yarn (a splurge for me) and is SO soft. I almost kept it for myself but decided to list it after all.
I’ve also made a few hats, which I really like because I can easily improvise a pattern and then just keep on going until it’s done.
Grape Jelly Hat. My inspiration here was to use a pattern that would break up the stripey nature of the yarn a little bit, but still show off the beautiful shades of purple. I’m pretty pleased with how it turned out.
Bluebell Hat. This one is SUCH gorgeous yarn that I wanted to let the colors of blue speak for themselves and not interfere by using a stitch pattern. This yarn is unbelievably soft and a little stretchy, so it’s perfect for a roll-brim hat.
Zappy Hat. I had no idea what the variegated yarn would look like until after I started knitting and I thought it was pretty neat! I like that the different colors ended up in varying shaped swatches.

What kind of yarn did you use on the Zappy hat? It’s awesome
Thanks, Erica! It’s from Knit Picks and unfortunately has been discontinued. You can see info about it on Ravelry still, and you might be able to find someone on there who’d trade or sell some.
