Found My Watchcap
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!

Freestyle Caps by Cheryl Andrews

Knitting a Scottish Tam
A friend of mine ask if I could knit him a Scottish Tam. Seems easy enough, and I’ve never done a felted project, so why not. I found a decent pattern on Ravelry close to what he was looking for, and knit up a sample. The sample turned out ok. I need to change a…

My finished watch cap
I finished my new watch cap! Really happy with how it turned out. I want to learn more. For my next project, I’m going to give cables a try. I found a recommendation for an easy cabled hat. Will post more as it progresses. Enjoy!

I miss my old watch cap
I’ve enjoyed knitting off and on for many, many years. The last time I took the hobby seriously was back in 2005. During that time, I knit a really nice watch cap to wear on an Alaska trip.

Countryside Scarf for Birthday
Now that I’m back into knitting, I made a nice textured scarf for my sister on her birthday this year. The pattern is the Countryside scarf by La boutique de Jeanne I’m really happy with how it turned out, but also not inclined to do more scarves. Just never ending rectangle of the same stitch…
