Just hanging out in the charity bag. I’m totally in love with how it turned out. Circular needles. The decreases turned out pretty, too. I’m getting better with needle-knitting. Of all of the yarning, this hurts least.

That’s all for now.
Happy Hath Day! (September 30th)
I wish I could say I finished something but, nope. Still I like seeing progress. A couple things are getting close.
The next two hats are nearing the decreasing section.
The scrappy slipper socks are at the cuff stage.
I hate/love following my passion. There are only so many hours a day and somethings get lost in the shuffle. Like recorders and pianos and singing. Like writing and editing. Like other artwork. I miss those pursuits. Like old friends and family. Yet the knitting is calling. I barely put half an hour on the diamond painting. I’m putting in about the same on the treadmill. It’s something! More than I’d get done otherwise.
Since the bear and other toy haven’t progressed at all since last seen they don’t rate a picture. I promise, this weekend I’ll stuff, sew, and make faces. On them and myself!
Well, I made the mistake of working on my knitting all day and forgot to blog or do my Duolingo. At least I had a ‘freeze’ on Duo, so I still have the count of 1,146 days. But I bet I am back to day one here on WordPress. I was heading for the 300. I’m so disappointed!
This is the feet and pants of the bear I’m learning to knit. See yesterday’s blog for the YouTube.
By the way, see the end of the needles? These were part of a little box my mom gave me decades ago. I don’t know what the gob is. Maybe putty? Gum? And I’m not sure but that these may be ivory from the days when we did such horrors as chop of elephant tusks for our knitting or makeup supplies. Still, it is cool to have inherited my mother’s needles.
This little squiggly doll was made a year or so ago. I don’t like stuffing and sewing so he went into the WIP cave of lost souls. But my daughter’s new interest in knitting toys gave me a boost to try and finish him. I need to stuff and sew on the arms and give him a hat or hair and a face.
I just learned that someone I know and love has taught herself to knit. Toys! I can knit toys on the loom but never learned to make them on needles. So I asked where she learned. Here are the YouTubes I plan to follow and her Works In Progress.
The hat on the orange KB loom proved to be a promise of trouble. I knew I wouldn’t like how to close the crown. Decreasing on this loom would be impossible. So I frogged. Now it is on circular needles.
Three hats and one pair of slipper socks. I wish it were no hats. And I’m seriously considering frogging the socks and mounting them on a larger loom or needles as the yarn is too thick for this to be fun.
I hope you have a great week.

Though I wanted to actually write something creative today, I found it rather tough after working on my other projects. Oh, and we are busy watching Moonfall and now Night Sky ( both quite interesting) I’m too tired and distracted.
Here are the experiment hats.
The needle-knitted hat turned out a little too big and the Flexee a little too small. The Flexee colors made it easy to do a two-by-two ribbing. In the needle-knitted hat, I found it easy to find where the purls were and where the knits were, so I did a one-by-one ribbing.
I loved Moonfall. (HBOMAX) My favorite kind of movie!
And I am quite into Night Sky on Amazon Prime.
