Woo! I made it - 2 days in a row!
Okay, today is all about a project that represents your house mascot (see yesterday's post). Not in the literal sense, though I'm sure I can find plenty of knit and/or crocheted monkeys, but more the spirit of the thing. Monkeys are all about the challenge and learning. So, what do I find challenging/what do I need to learn? Lots of stuff.
Color work, of any kind really, but I really like these Kissing Koi Mitts.
Steeking - cutting one's work after it is complete is CRAZY, but still something I would like to try. I think I'll stick to something small, like a Steeked Cup Cozy.
Double Knitting - I'd like to start with these Hogwarts House Scarf Bookmarks (Surprise - HP made this list!)
And someday, I really hope to make myself a lace weight sweater - I've got my eye on you Wisper Cardigan
But before all of that, I'll be tackling the Katharina shawl - knit and crochet, fully charted.
Double knitting is fun, makes for a really neat feel after the project is complete. And definitely a great skill to have.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing you make all of these projects (eventually).
Love, Your lil Sis :)
