Off the Needles, Hook or Bobbins

Gary’s LeHigh Hat

  • Pattern: Turn a Square by Jared Flood. $5 knitting pattern available on Ravelry & Brooklyn Tweed Site
  • Yarn: Cesium Yarn Strong DK ( 75% SW Merino/25% Nylon) in the One More Sleep Colorway
  • Needles: US 5 (3.75 mm) & US 7 (4.5 mm)
  • Ravelry Project Page
  • Project Notes & Mods: did not increase after ribbing as called for. Knit 7 inches before working decreases. I used 52g of yarn and have 56g remaining so I can make another hat with this yarn.

Gary’s Delaware Hat

  • Yarn: Robin’s Promise Yarn Co, Two Birds in the Hand (DK 4ply 100% SW Merino) in the White-Tailed Robin Feather Colorway
  • Needles: US 5 (3.75 mm) & US 7 (4.5 mm)
  • Ravelry Project Page
  • About the Yarn- purchased Rhinebeck Weekend at CAKEpalooza. Its a mostly solid royal blue. 
  • This project is living in my new Stitched by Jessalu Rhinebeck 2025 bag. I think this will be my fall/winter hat project and I’ll just keep the needles in here and keep replacing the yarn.

  • Pattern: Yarn Cozy Lite by Knitty Natty- $6 pattern available on Ravelry

  • Natalie’s video support for the stretchy i-cord bind off is great.

Vivienne’s Christmas Stocking

  • Pattern: Christmas Stockings to Knit and Crochet from Family Circle Magazine. Available in this web archive link. I’ve also saved it to my podcast Gmail Google Drive in case it disappears!
  • Yarn: Red Heart Super Saver in Cherry Red, Hunter Green and White
  • Hook: G (4.0 mm)

On the Needles, Hook or Bobbins

Pucker Brush Farm BFL Sweater Spin

  • Fiber: 16 oz of multi colored BFL roving from Pucker Brush Farm (purchased at Rhinebeck 2025), 4 oz Merino in a mustard color
  • Ravelry Project Page
  • I am planning to knit a Traveler sweater inspired by Emily Curtis’ handmade version- click here for her Ravelry Project Page. I was thrilled to see a recent post on Emily’s Instagram that she made a YouTube video about this spin/knit.
  • I found 4oz of Ironwood Hill Farm Roving- Finnsheep combed top that I purchased in April 2021. Unfortunately I can’t find more of this on Cece’s Wool site or Ironwood’s etsy shop, but I think it will give me the idea for a tan/brown color plied with the colorful yarn, so I’ll spin just enough to make a sample yarn– but this Finn is spinning like a dream. Where could I get more? Send suggestions my way

Spectrum Socks

  • Yarn: Woolens & Nosh Targhee Sock in the Spectrum Colorway
  • Pattern: OMG Heel Socks by Megan Williams ($5 knitting pattern available on Ravelry)

  • Needles: US 3 (3.25 mm) & US 4 (3.5 mm)
  • Ravelry Project Page
  • Sleeve progress- knit a few more sets of decreases on the first sleeve. Still have a second sleeve to go and the whole hood. Focusing a bit more on Christmas gifts coming up so this one will be taking a backseat.

Brainstorming

  • Queen Elsa Amigurumi by Chiara Cremon. Free crochet pattern available on Ravelry. You can find lots of cute character patterns on her Instagram account.
  • Zach- maybe something spiderman

Crafty Adventures

During Gabriella & Zachary’s sleepover we pained and made plastic ornaments with spiraled pipe cleaners inside. So cute and easy!

Knitting in Passing

A cute preteen girl came over when I was crocheting on the train to ask what kind of hook I was using and then asked if I was making a stocking for Christmas. I asked if she crocheted. She said yes but didn’t offer more. When she went back to the grown up she was with, they gave her a big high five. So cute.

Then the gentleman across from me who saw me counting rows then asked what happened if I lose count. Told him I could read the stitches. He congratulated me onto who new addition to our family.

In My Travels

I shared highlights from a recent trip to New York City.

  • I spent a wonderful morning at the MET
    • Aida Silvestri- artist from Eritrea who had a triptych of pieces on display.
      • Her work is motivated by social concern, but it also explores the camera’s ability to connect people to a place. In these portraits of immigrant women, the artist strategically blurs her subjects’ faces. This gesture, born of a need for protective anonymity, seems to evoke a greater enigma of the self. Mapping the course of migration to London are lines of thread stitched into the surfaces of the print- permanent, identity-altering interventions. Silvestri regards her series as a documentary project dedicated to those travelers who never reached their destination.
    • Two embroidery samplers from Bostonian women from the late 1700s that were just beautiful.
  • We visited the Chelsea Flea– I got a cool pair of earrings
  • We got cookies from Levain Bakery
  • We made a quick trip to Knitty City and Laura picked out yarn for a hat
  • Musical- Two Strangers Carry a Cake Across New York
  • We also saw Blue Moon at the movies. Tells the story of Lorenz Hart’s struggles with alcoholism and mental health as he tries to save face during the opening of “Oklahoma!”.

Commentator Update (links in this section go to Ravelry)

Quarter 2 is in full swing and, when I looked today, 9 players had already submitted for points for the Q2 challenge!  Are you still thinking of what you can make that is at least 60 rows, using a row counter?  Here are some ideas!

  • Hats! Many of our early Q2 finishers completed hats.
    • Neferetri, Hollyelyse and Janknitdun completed beautiful cabled hats…I bet the row counter came in handy for those projects!
    • Kimbuktu7 completed a lovely colorwork hat
    • Adrie9 completed a lovely two colored musselburgh hat 
  • Neckwear is also a popular choice among our early Q2 finishers

There’s still plenty of time for you to get your projects in for Q2. These finishers have definitely demonstrated that there are plenty of patterns with at least 60 rows that work up in a flash!

PepperRN added in Pigskin Party Tips Thread on Ravelry

If you are budgeting but still want to support sponsors buy something re usable. Stitch markers can be used in 1 project and then when finished in the next. I like knitting hats for charity so I bought a hat pattern from a sponsor. I put that pattern with a sponsor bag and sponsor stitch markers and can knit it over and over during the PSP.

On a Happy Note

  • New York City! I took the train this time which was a great option. Laura and I had dinner with two of her pilates clients.
  • We all enjoyed Gabriella and Zachary’s first sleepover. We watched the KPOP Demon Hunters movie and after going to bed early and reading the Hot Air Balloon book, wehad fun hunting for the orange eyed monster! Dan made the kids pancakes and we’ll put their photos on the collage wall in the guest room. Gabriella asked for a unicorn and a ghost Spiderman. Zach wanted Spiderman.
  • I received a really nice message from my cousin Gayle who was visiting her friend in NH and let me know that Mom’s shawl that she chose was keeping her warm. Love you Gayle!
  • My childhood friend Maribeth has shared a few photos of things her family has found when cleaning out her parents’ attic- costumes and things my mom made. It was sweet of her to send me those photos so we could reminisce.
  • I finally got to join Beth’s Karaoke Night Zoom (part of the Love in Stitches Membership).
  • Dad is recovering from a back injury but doing better.
  • We successfully moved my grandmother into the Memory Care side of the independent living home she’s lived at for 5 years. Hope this will be a good fit for her.
  • I got a massage this week!

Commentator Update

There’s been a lot of activity in the huddle thread recently. Players have been discussing a range of interesting topics such as:

Strategy for shopping at fiber festivals, which was partially inspired by Rhinebeck but certainly applies to any festival, suggestions for patterns to use up mini-skeins, recommendations for cruises, board game recommendations, how to balance manicures with crafting time, ideas for handmade gifts for someone going into memory care, and what to do when you’ve simply lost interest in a project

As usual, if you can’t keep up–just jump in!  

I also wandered over to the endzone dance thread today. Unsurprisingly, there are a lot of pink projects, cozies, and pink cozies! But players have also recently finished a few Halloween themed projects Links below go to Ravelry:

I am always amazed by the huge variety of projects that pigskin partiers complete!  It is so fun to see what everyone likes to create!

  • Official Sponsor for Quarter 2 (November)- Twice Sheared Sheep. Row Counter Challenge- details in this Ravelry Thread.
  • Commentator Report from Mary- links below all go to Ravelry

Recently I’ve been spending time in the Mark it Monday thread.  If you are interested in a thread where the topic of conversation is almost exclusively about the crafting, this is a great thread for you!  It also moves a bit slower than the main huddle thread, so a little easier to keep up.  I find perusing this thread to be great for inspiration. It brings a smile to my face to see other players’ projects coming to life. This week, I realized that player Scitchr is making 5 adorable animals. She is making them all Buffalo Bills clothing! So far, she has made an otter, a woodland duck, a hedgehog, and a woodland badger!  You must check them out…they are so adorable. Plus, she plans on making them Halloween costumes!

Speaking of Halloween costumes, Sandima made a Wednesday (from Addams’ Family) costume for her porch goose: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/sandima/goostavo-porch-goose-sweater

So cute!

In other news…players are busy with the three challenges that are going on right now:

* 25 players have already submitted for points for pink challenge, with 5 players already submitting 2 entries!  

* over 50 players have submitted for points for the Q1 challenge, with over 15 of them already submitting 2 entries!
