sunny yellow...

yellow has been on my mind...

bright, intense, vivid

yellow

jaune de chrome

giallo cromo

these clear, crisply-sunny days of late spring  somehow inspire a craving for this color...

fortunately, I found a wonderful yellow at the yarn shop...MillaMia's "daisy yellow" #142...

I cast on 84 stitches, and a few hours later...

a yellow hat

and soon a new pattern...stay tuned!

sideways...

I love garter stitch running vertically on a garment, but had never made a hat knit sideways...

here is yesterday's experiment with the technique...

using some odd skein of multi-colored,
sport-weight wool, I cast on 35 stitches and worked eight wedges of short rows...

  

donation request...

have you used any of my free patterns?

please, then, consider making a donation to the American Red Cross to help support their efforts to bring assistance to the victims of the recent tornadoes in the midwest...

every little bit counts...

thank you
