Bonnet-in-progress knit with a saturated bright peachy yarn. Garter texture and I-cord edging and tie. Floral drawstring project bag in brown, peach, cream.
A go-to baby/toddler gift knit for me is the Beloved by Tin Can Knits! Have you tried this pattern?? There are over 7,000 projects on Ravelry! This bonnet pattern was published in 2018 and comes in five sizes (newborn - adult). Knit up with DK weight yarn (or fingering held double or whatever you want to achieve a gauge of 22 sts x 30r), it is the perfect little accessory thatβs both functional and adorable. An engaging seamless knit with thoughtful details and clever shaping! Highly recommend.

βSome say ruhking is a calling. For me it was an answer to a question that had bored clear through my soul. I had a hole worn through my center, like one of Arnanβs interesting blue river stones. People have admired rocs for centuries. Artists paint them, sculpt them, tell stories about them. I wanted to be one. I wanted to be the monster that kills other monsters.β ~Excerpt from Untethered Sky by Fonda Lee, page 23 Sometimes when I read a lot of books that are part of longer incomplete series, or just longer 300-500 page books, I seek an anthology or a novella. I recently finished an adult science fiction high fantasy novella. Weβre immersed in a kingdom where manticores (deadly human-eating monsters) are a problem. The relationship between humans and animals (specifically rocs or mythical birds of prey that resemble a gigantic falcon) is explored. I was invested in characters that I got to know but wanted to get to know more than the 150 pages gave me. Themes of grief, responsibility, internal struggles, loyalty, family. My heart strings were definitely pulled. For my project, Iβve re-knit the collar since that last time I shared a work-in-progress photo. Used a smaller needle and picked up less stitches and it fits better on me now. Iβve picked up for the sleeves and will finish those before going back to finish the body!

I added interior pockets and do my boxed bottom a little differently (same result). Main thing: the zipper method is awesome and one Iβve come back to often (when I remember π
