Sunwalker Scarf

Yarn:

The textures of this pattern are amazing, and they really help showcase the crazy weird colors of the yarn. I love that they're inspired by the sculpture garden, and I can't wait to wear it this spring out and about. 

The project itself was extremely tedious, and I shortened the scarf significantly so that it wouldn't be too big. I think the size I made it is perfect.

Yarn:

I really love this hat. It's so warm and soft, it's definitely one of my go tos. I'd love to work with the yarn again, the camel is just so amazing. I really liked the unique cable patterns in this hat, but I didn't like the way the four repeats came together at the crown, so I modified it for five repeats. It gives the hat a really nice slouch, and looks better to my eye. I love it a ton, and I'll definitely be using the yarn again.

Cloud Dweller

This hat is for one of my coworkers. I have loved this pattern forever, but when I went to make it the first time, I didn't like how the cables were right next to each other. They all blended together and there wasn't much texture. To address this, I added one purl stitch in between them, and I love how it turned out!

This yarn is an absolutely gorgeous color. I love how it feels and I think it's super lovely. However, it definitely didn't knit up like a dk. It felt way more like a fingering or a sport. I would definitely use it again, but only on something calling for sport.

I made it again for me!!!! With my DC madelinetosh, this batch of cloud dweller came out to have a lot more lavender and pale blue than the others. I think it's absolutely stunning, and I'd like to two it this hat at a looser gauge so that its cozier. I already wear it a ton, but I suspect it could be even better.

Spotted Cotinga

I found this pattern to suit the last of my birthday yarn. I can't get over how beautiful and bright the color is. It's also crazy soft! I'd work with this again in a heartbeat! When looking for a pattern, I wanted a really big drapey cowl with a bit of texture and an unusual shape. 

The construction of it was so interesting and unusual that it kept me intrigued the whole time I was knitting it! Love love love.

Yarn:

Araucania Cana Ruca

I have loved this pattern forever. I have been waiting for the perfect yarn to make it with, and when I saw the gorgeous yellows and blues in the ruca, I knew they'd pair well. I love wearing this as much as all of my other projects with the fiber. It's just so silky and soft. It feels amazing against the skin. The pattern is just the right size for a casual cowl, and I'd love to make it again with an ombré yarn.

So soft

Love the waves
