My Deco Fans Hat is complete. I had stated this in some totally inappropriate handspun then ripped it out. This is Malabrigo Mecha, the yarn called for in the pattern. I rarely go out and get the exact yarn for a pattern but in this case it was worth it. #rosekimknits

Nearly ten years ago I knit a stuffed Phanpy for Younger Son. Today I made him walk around the block with me to catch a Phanpy. How the tables have turned. #phanpy #pokemongo #knitting #knittersofinstagram #rosekimknits

A few skeins I picked up at #madronafiberarts. @sinceresheep Cormo gradient. Fly Design Merino/Cashmere. @localcolorfiberstudio Whole Flock (nature-dyed Finn worth angora). #rosekimknits

Thursday Is for What the Hell Is This?

Remember, knitters...

check your gauge.

I'm trying to use less of my leftover sock yarn scraps by making a long Helix tube-style infinity cowl. I'm about a third done but I still have a lot of scraps left! #rosekimknits #helixstripes #helixstripes4eva

And what to do with the leftover bits of Kate's handspun? A Helix hat, of course. #rosekimknits #helixstripes4eva #helixstripes

Thursday Is for What the Hell Is This?

I haven't posted a TIFWTHIS in a while. I guess I was in a bit of a rut. But then a yarn company posted a pattern for their new yarn called WOW! And all I can say is, "Wow, indeed."

This little number is knit on size 50 needles. I assume the model is posing like this so she can prop up her head with her arms because...damn. That's a Big Ass hat.

The same company came out with another pattern for those who find this one too subtle, too tasteful, too small.

Wow. Wow, indeed.
