Say It, "Rah-shay"

Words and thoughts from Rachée

Off the Needles: The Kami Hat

September 2, 2017

The end of August was very good craft wise. I won a beautiful set of needles from an Instagram contest and I feel like this set of needles has fueled my craftspiration.

 

 

I used that feeling to bust through some WIPs (Works in progress) and started a few projects that are quick and easy to complete. The collage below showcases a few things that worked up and completed!

So.Many.Hats!

 

 

I promised myself that I would work through the yarn stash that I have home however I had to visit one of my local yarn stores, Finely the Knitting Corner, to pick up yarn for a project I am working up for The Bee as well as more Plymouth Yarn’s Encore Tweed to work up a few hats. The yarn is a wool/acrylic blend and is soft and squishy, has not pulled my hair (I have still not worked up a way to line hats) and makes for a soft, pliable hat that does not lose it’s shape when stuffed into the bottom of a bag or pill up when handled.

After make two Barley Hats, I was scrolling through Ravelry looking for a new yarnthing and came across The Kami Hat by Katie Schumm . It’s a slouch, it’s fitted and It is my newest obsession.

The Kami Hat is a quick hat to work up. It’s a good way to practice switching between knit and purl stitches. I also practiced SSK (Slip, Slip Knit) and for some reason it clicked after watching a video from Purl Soho.
The result? A hat that The Bee has approved of and of course, claimed as her own.

Notes: Make sure you have double-pointed needles. While working up so many hats I start with circular needles and tried to cheat and not switch needles. Do yourself a favor and get double-pointed needles. I experienced some laddering while working up other hats.

Julie recommends blocking the hat, something I have not done. I was so focused on finishing this hat last night that I merely cast off and took a picture of The Bee before calling it a night. I am kind of digging the way the hat rolls a bit.

I also cut a few knit round repeats. The Bee said she liked the hat as it was and I agreed that it had enough slouch. The next one I work up I will follow the pattern as written to see how the five extra rows look.

What’s on your needles?

It’s a muggy mess out there. Good conversation and three in with @nkengerushhall.
The random cat I saw during today’s run.
Back at it with the Sunday group! Got some love from Paco and words of encouragement from my run group.
Forgot to post this from today. We had a big program and one of my library littles came to check it out.
My watch glitched but who cares; I got it in! Submitted my last paper for this semester, had a good morning and got in three before starting the work day.
