This has become my default hat pattern and if you want to know the particulars, just contact me. I love figuring out new stripe configurations, in shades of gray of course. Although I must say, the weather here has been positively summer-like, but who’s complaining.  

Yeah so I guess I had a lot of free time today, Christmas day, as many of us do, so I managed to finish a hat for a friend who doesn’t have one. And he’s bald! Normally this friend of mine wears only black but I just couldn’t bear to knit an all black hat [...]

I so enjoyed knitting the koolhaas hat for a friend, that I decided to make one for myself. It wasn’t the pattern that bowled me over so much as the fiber. Malabrigo twist is probably the most luscious fiber I’ve used in a long time. I rushed right out to Article Pract in Oakland and [...]

The weather turned cold recently and I received a message from old friend Marci. She wanted to remind me how much she loved the hat I had made her and how much she still uses and treasures the hat. The hat that I had completely forgotten I ever made. I’m guessing that I made this [...]

I did manage to start a new project recently of which I’m giving you a sneak peak. The fiber is yummy Malabrigo which feels like cashmere. So wonderfully and [...]

It’s been bloody cold around here – even for California. Bitter. Luckily I finished this wonderful hat just in time for the freeze. The pattern is called Intuitive and yes it is. Very easy. Very fun to make. As an added bonus it’s also convertible as you can see from the different ways it’s styled [...]

And that NEVER happens.

I guess the holidays are over – at least for now. Ali and Kelsi headed back to Oregon this morning but not before I managed to finish one more hat. It’s based on the Black and Grey hat and it even matches Kelsi’s shirt. Pretty cool, eh? This one is smaller with only 70 stitches [...]

It’s cold. Even for California. Last night I wore my new black/grey hat, here modeled by Alejandro, to the playoff game last night against Alameda. We won, of course. Now it’s on to the Huskies at home on Saturday. Woot woot. It was pointed out to me that the hat features Oakland Raiders colors even [...]
