Another easy knitted hat

We seem to be on a rented movie marathon at my house. I think it has something to do with the post holiday decompression.

018

Mostly rainy and cloudy here during the winter, it’s perfect to cuddle up on the sofa and knit or spin.

I found some yarn in my stash and I’m off.

Easy Ribbed Hat (made with bulky yarn)

yarn Bernant Felting Natural Wool, color way 94420

Needles size 8 US, circular needles

I used the magic loop method, see here for help

Cast on 64 stitches, being careful not to twist stitches

Pattern is K1, P1 all around every row

Continue until approx 6 inches or around the top of your head

Start your decreasing

001

Row 1: Knit pattern (k1, p1) 6 stitches, ktog , place stitch marker

Row 2: Knit all around

Row 3: Knit pattern until last two stitches before marker, then ktog

Row 4: knit all around

Repeat rows 3 and 4 until you have 8 stitches left on the needle.

Cut a long tail and draw through all of the loops.

Stitch back and forth through the top of the hat to secure and cut.

This quick hat is perfect for just about anyone.

May your knitting needles fly as fast as dragonflies

Fibonacci and Knitting

Some time ago I learned that Fibonacci can be applied to knitting. If you are not familiar with Fibonacci, he was a mathematician from the middle ages. He figured out the relationship of proportions, now known as the golden ratio (or number), Fibonacci sequence or 1.618 or Phi. This sequence is seen in practically everything. I’ll link to several articles if you wish to learn more. From reproducing animals, to sea shells and galaxies, the human form and sunflowers. (Mona Lisa, Parthenon, and the pyramids of Egypt, just to name a few). This ratio is present in many, many more surprising things. The first time I used this was in my felted bag. I loved the random look of it. This pattern is The Big  Bag Pattern (free on Ravelry) by Maia Discoe (link ) Below are a couple of links if you wish to learn more..

Below is my views on the Kick spindle I purchased (Little Meggie from Heavenly Handspinning), and some info on all of the other Kick Spindles that I could locate. Links and costs are included. Review: Things I like about my Kick Spindle. 1. Long spin time, I like the addition of the ball bearing. 2. Leaves both hands free to draft 3. It's my "wheel" 4. I like using my foot, I am moving around and don't get stiff from one position. It's a very "active" type, rhythmic motion. 5. You can actually stand and use it also. 6. Great price point. 7. I have never spun on a wheel and when I sat down at one the first time, I could actually spin (some) I think this action of foot/hand coordination helped. 8. ...
