I have been working on another hat design, this time using leftover yarn from my BlueSand Cardigan that I made a while back using Scheepjes Stone Washed. Hello, recycled yarn arrival photo!

Remember the hat design I said I was working on, well I did actually finish it! Ta daaa, the Black Brook Beanie!

Yup, you read right. I designed a thing… or am in the process of designing a thing, rather. I’m carefully tiptoeing into the world of design! I have decided to start off simple, with a nice scarf in a stitch I discovered recently and really loved. This kept the design process simple and painless for me so far and …
