Cleaning out the boat I found my old watch cap (wool hat) that I made back in 2004 for an Alaska cruise. So glad to see it again! It’s in pretty good shape, and even has a few Dalmatian hairs still stuck in it (miss you Samson!).

Enjoy!

Starting My Berroco Fitzgerald

Starting My Berroco Fitzgerald

Here’s a view of the ribbing, center panel and some seed stitch on my Berroco Fitzgerald cardigan. Using Berroco vintage Chunky yarn in the cracked pepper color way. I made a couple of tweaks to the center panel, and am happy with it so far. We’ll see how the sweater comes together. This is my first bottom up sweater, and my first large project done in pieces then assembled. Also, I think the button band and shawl collar will be a fun learning experience. Really looking forward to it!
