Is finished

I am finally finishing up the hats I have been working on for grandkids and sister-in-law. Thanks to Chris I made a pompom worth attaching to one of the hats. I had already purchased the buttons to use to make the pompom removeable so the hat can be reversible. However, the elastic that I have on hand is too side to work well for that. It is 1/4 inch wide. As I have begun looking online for skinner elastic, I am finding both flat and round elastic. Which works best for this purpose. I also found elastic thread, but it looks really flimsy and I don't know how durable it would be. Advice? Thoughts? Recommendations? Links? All welcome and appreciated. TIA

I made this scarf today. It was an odd ball of yarn without label that I had since a while. It is extremely soft and run beautifully in my CKM. I really wish I knew the brand of this yarn. I kept a sample and hope that one of my friends will be able to recognise it.

The world’s fastest knitter is Miriam Tegels of the Netherlands. She can hand knit 118 stitches in one minute. Linda Benne has been the North American speed-knitting champ for the past 10 years. She can knit 253 stitches in 3 minutes.

I want to share a bit of the real process with you today. Over the last little while, I’ve been practicing, testing, and designing our Colour Work course, and I’m excited to say it will be released next week 🎉The project we’ll be working on together is a Valentine’s Day scarf, like the one you see here. But I also want you to know something important… I don’t get everything right the first time. (See the pictures below.) I have to learn new skills. I drop stitches. I misread charts. I choose the wrong yarn. I get frustrated. Just like you. The difference is—you usually only see the finished project. What you don’t see are the mistakes, the do-overs, and the “well… that didn’t work” moments that happen before it ever looks good. That’s exactly why I create these courses. I do the experimenting, the trial-and-error, and the problem-solving first, so when you sit down to learn, you can: • Start with a method that works • Avoid common mistakes • Understand why things happen • And build confidence faster This Colour Work course is being built step by step with that same heart: 👉 learning together 👉 simplifying what feels complicated 👉 and proving that you can do this—even when it feels tricky at first More details coming soon, but for now, just know this: If you’ve ever thought “She makes it look easy, but I struggle…” — you’re not alone. I struggle too you just don't always get to see it and quitting is not an option. And I can’t wait to teach you this next skill 💖
