Harriet's Hat

This hat pattern is definately a winner!

Using yarn from my stash (yippee) I found this hat a quick knit with easy to follow instructions and charts.

Because I was unfamiliar with the graph for the crown, did a little research before starting and took my time while knitting it.

Still convinced I would end up ripping the crown back at least once I added a life line before starting.

I finished it last night, no ripping necessary, and I'm very pleased with the final result. Now I need to wash and block it.

Bridal, bridal party wedding shawl

I started this shawl last year and put it away so I can complete other projects & just took it out a few weeks ago to finish and apply border. I don't remember what I did to get the pattern, but the crochet edging, which was done recently, was 1 row, sc & 2 rows hdc. It is done in Mohair.

It is 78" long by 16" wide, unstretched and not blocked

This would be ideal for a bride, bridal party etc..... but I don't have any brides in my family coming up any time soon. I really enjoyed working with the Mohair, very soft and luxurious.

Baby cardigan k

I made this from a ball of yarn I got for 50p at a charity shop. I ran out of yarn so the sleeves are plain lilac. The buttons are the same range but each is different. It will probably go to charity unless I find someone who's pregnant.

Request for a sweater for 3 year old with initial...this is what I came up with

This began life as a striped raglan sweater by Debbie Bliss, but was modified along the way. I used Sirsar Sublime extra fine merino worsted and 4.5 mm needles.
I hope it fits the bill.

Best way to mail yarn

Can anyone advise me what type of packaging is most economical/works best for mailing yarn & where it can be purchased in the US? I’m guessing those poly bags in different sizes, but would like an expert’s opinion.

If I can find a good source that doesn’t break the bank, I might be able to reduce excess stash. Thanks.

Enigma shawl, knitted by me.

This is an interesting design and may be bigger or smaller . My shawl is 58" at the top edge and 27" from top down at the center. I used the yarn from my 'stash' "Merino Gold Batik" (40% Merino Wool 60% Acrylic) from my 'stash' . I like this yarn as I don't need to choose colors,- all of them are in the skein already !.. Here it is :
