I'm heading to my local animal shelter's Easter Bazar tomorrow morning, and have some knits ready for it.

I've made some bulky hats:
Pattern - Chunky Button Hat
Yarn - Filati Funky, a really bulky wool / acrylic mix. This happens to be the first yarn I ever knit in my "new knitter life" in 2006!
Needles - 10 mm dpns (!)
Modifications - I did change the crown of some of these hats, plus I attached no buttons, but made pom poms instead.

I finally did it! This is my first knitting pattern I offer for sale.

Edit! This pattern is now free at Kuebel hat - the knitting pattern

I offer this free hat knitting pattern for no fee for your own personal use - you may not sell this pattern or the hats you knit using it (please ask me about charity).

I finally put up an About page - now you can read a bit on who I am, what I do and what this blog is about. Please feel free to comment or ask a question if there's anything else you'd like to know!

I haven't done a "look-what-I-found-on-the-Interwebz" post for a long long time! Better to catch up later than never, no?

Poor sweater, what have I done to you?

This is a sad story about a top-down raglan sweater, which had an "accident" and has now become a bottom-up raglan sweater. Let me start from the beginning...
