I was able to make this delightful pattern, Diamonds Crochet Hat by Agrarian Artisan. The pattern is easy to remember so you able to crochet while doing other tasks, like watching TV and movies. They also turned out comfy and all yarn colors/materials worked and finished great.
I also got to make some mitts, Wabi mitts by Karen Templer. I used Big Lots yarn and thought the two skeins I used were the same. They were, but it turns out this shade of yarn has some variegation in the colors and my second mitt did not come out in stripes like the first one did. I plan to see about making at least two more in the same yarn to see if I can come up with a match. I have also set aside another yarn to make another pair for myself in the future.
They have neat thumb sections which make it super snug and yet still breathable.
This week also included learning about wiggly crochet using the May Flowers Hot Pad & Coaster Set by Susan Lowman. So far the pattern is going great and I am hoping to have it finished next week.
If you are still waiting on something from me, this year should be the year to get it. I am going to tuck in ends and felt away until everything is done. Happy New Year!
