Hiya Kniterati, what do we think of this knitting? Would love some feedback on my yarn choice. It will be a balaclava-hood, called the Harris Hood.
Two strands of Rowan Fine Art variegated in pink-coral, and one strand of pink cashmere.
Also here is a picture of the woman it is for, and of the pattern. She wanted a bright color. Am I on the right path with this?

How did I not know this?!!
Per Norman at #NimbleNeedles on #YouTube, swatches can be marked for needle size by tying knots - in this case, seven knots for US7 needle. Because I NEVER remember.
Another way is to knit in the correct number as purl bumps right in the swatch. Great hack!

It's here! Rosemary (Romi) Hill's latest MKAL, "Funston." Want to join me?
I've done her last two - very rewarding, highly wearable shawls. Each MKAL has a philosophical theme and includes new techniques and/or construction. There are weekly how-to videos, moderated forums, kits, and more. Pay what you can model.
I'm all in, kicks off in May. Hop on in!

Here's a knitting math geek-out from Norman of NimbleNeedles on #YouTube...
I always learn so much from Norman. Here he takes a deep dive into stitch and row gauge. He maths A LOT. If you are math-phobic, Norman makes it clear, step-by-step. His thinking changes the role of getting gauge - the swatch is still important, but not everything. So interesting!

New obsession - the Emotional Support Little Chickie!
A spin-off of the wildly successful Emotional Support Chicken, which now has over 10k made according to Ravelry, these little guys are pocket-sized, for carry-along stress reduction. So darn cute!

CLUCK CLUCK, Kniterati! Am loving this new pattern for an Emotional Support Little Chickie. It's a perfect-sized pocket chicken, works up with scrap yarn in a day. A very fun #FO!

Needed a knitting palette cleanser, so knocked out this new pattern - The Emotional Support Little Chickie, a pocket-sized comfort fowl.
Mistakes were made. And that's OK... at least the safety eyes are kinda even. Now that I know the ropes, I think I might make several to surprise-gift to people here at the nursing home.
The child-like instant joy it brings to others is everything!

New sweater, who dis?
Still needs washing/blocking, but aside from that it's done after only like 1.5 months and I am deeply in smit with how well it turned out. 
Anyone else struggling with long DPNs poking into boobs/chest when knitting in the round?
Me too, until I discovered that Clover makes 5" needles in US5, a premium bamboo product called Takumi. Here's a shot of one Takumi swapped out for longer DPNs. So much more manageable!

Yay! The Mom Crème Anglaise sweater is at last done, delivered and mom-approved!
I learned so much making this. Lots of frogging back, switching yarns, switching patterns also. Settled on Valley Yarns Charlemont fingering and Cascade Baby Alpaca lace held together - dream combo. I love how the silk helps give the other fibers and the garment structure. Hooray, a #FO!

On needles, the Grapevine Headband #WIP for Jolienne The Nurse!
It will have a twist in the front where the ends join. Gotta try it on her head again first, make sure it's tight enough. Great pattern, and free!

Spinning Frigg Vintage Fairytale Pin: A beautiful vintage brass pin of a woman with her distaff and spinning wheel. Pin measures just over 1 3/4" (4.5cm) wide.
Frigg is the Norse Goddess of spinning-- it is said that she spun the clouds and you can see her spinning wheel in the sky as the constellation known as Orion's Belt.
