I've finished several longterm knitting projects in the last few months so this past weekend I sat down for a nice quick knit with this Tiilda Hat out of handspun. This had been a fun braid to spin from a gradient batt I blended and was just what I needed.

For a long time I was in the toe-up (and some sort of short tow heel) camp but for the last few years I mostly knit cuff-down (w/heel flap and gusset) and I can't really say why other than I guess I just needed a change. I will go toe-up if I am at all worried about yarn chicken though.

This week I completed my first knit FO of 2025. This is the Melt Shawl by Andrea Mowry, the yarns I used are all handspun skeins pulled from my stash. The colors remind me of those cold cups that ice cream stands use which makes the name of the shawl all the more appropriate. #knitting #handsun
