Swatching

I'm working on a Third Malabrigo Rios Hat Design as well as a Cowl Design.  First Swatch is the Paracol Stitch which I've been wanting to use for a long time and turns out it's find to knit .

2 New Hat Designs

Both hats are knitted with Malabrigo Rios which is one of my favorite yarns to work with. I did an easy to knit pattern stitch for the bands and kept it simple for the rest of the hat.

Giving a feeling of comfort, warmth and relaxation, that’s what I had in mind when I Designed this oversized shawl. I decided to keep it simple by using the Stockinette and Garter Stitch.  This is a shawl you can just leave on your couch or favorite chair ready for use.

Starting Over

I ripped out the first attempt at this hat design I'm working on because it was too big even though I did a Swatch. Plus, I didn't like the reverse stockinette stitch.  The second time I did the ribbing in a US 7 and the body in a US 8.  I'm not going to kid you it was painful since it was almost finished. But, worth it to get a Design I'm happy with. Needless to say I LOVE this Malabrigo Rios yarn!  The yarn and the hat sample will be at The Little Knittery when we reopen in September.
