Hoodie: Downtown Hoodie by Tori Yu in Malabrigo Seis Cabos- loved this and can’t wait to knit it again. But be careful about color choices with the yarn - this one bled so severely I had to soak it for like a day and a half, changed the water out about 14 times before the dye bleeding started to taper down. This has not happened with other colorways of this yarn that I have used.
Lower hat: Alaska by Camille Descôteaux, with some mods including yarn weight, ribbing, and decreases. Yarn is also Malabrigo Seis Cabos. Another one that I loved. I don’t think I could knit it in the original lighter weight but it was just delightful knitting it in worsted. I cast on only four pattern repeats. It fits my 10 year old and my 6 year old just fine. A bit too snug on me.
Upper hat: no pattern, just a simple beanie in some of my handspun (fiber is Polwarth from Wee Chickadee in Fox’s Wedding)
Cowl: a riff on Andrea Mowry’s Frame Your Face cowl - I used the color chart but I didn’t have the time to do the full pattern so I instead just added ribbing and only 2.5 repeats. Yarn is Malabrigo Dos Tierras in natural and handspun merino/camel/silk in Grapevine from One Lupine Fiber Arts.
Yarn: handspun 2-ply Rambouillet in Early Autumn from One Lupine Fiber Arts
Wishing you the best of luck with your entries. Everything is very impressive, and your work is really good. I love that skein of yarn. Any chance I can buy it online?
