    The Fading Flowers Hat is here! This collaboration The Fading Flowers Hat is here! This collaboration with @seachangefibers has a cozy double brim, cute little bobble flowers, and a spiraling crown that is so satisfying.

Comment “bobbles” and I’ll send you a link to where you can get the pattern on Ravelry.
    Sorry friends, but you’re gonna keep hearing me si Sorry friends, but you’re gonna keep hearing me singing the praises of blocking all of your knits until the cows come home (my fifth grade teacher would be so pleased to know that is still a regular part of my vocabulary).

Whenever I see knitters struggling with making their finished knit look more polished, the number one problem is that they aren’t blocking their knits. If you’re knitting with a natural fiber, giving your finished project a gentle steam or a soak in lukewarm water and then laying it flat to dry is a crucial part of helping the stitches settle into place.

Here is a visual demonstration of why just putting on the finished project and wearing it around won’t achieve the same results.
    Tell me if this sounds familiar: you’re knitting a Tell me if this sounds familiar: you’re knitting along on a project when you start to develop a sinking feeling in your stomach. It doesn’t look right. Something isn’t working.

Before long, the feeling has intensified, building until you know there’s only one solution: ripping out your work and starting over again. Ribbit. Ribbit.
 
While frogging isn’t always the best way to fix a problem, here are some scenarios where it’s pretty much unavoidable.
    When I decided to do a little fundraiser for @sail When I decided to do a little fundraiser for @sailingmom2la28 and her Olympic journey, I wasn’t sure how it would go. I did, though, know that knitters have a wonderful depth of generosity in their spirits.

It has been such a joy watching you all root for Lauren as hard as I have been. I can’t wait to hear how Worlds turns out, and I hope you’ll continue following her over on her own Instagram account!

And finally, many, many thanks to @megsandco_yarn, without whom I truly couldn’t have pulled this off. She created the most perfect pink yarn and was such a joy to collaborate with.
