About

I’m 27 years old, married, and working as a landscaper and indoor plant care/maintenance person. I’m pretty much a total geek and into scifi, anime, fantasy, MMORPG gaming, console gaming, etc.

This was a really quick knit and uses very little yarn. I used some of the kool-aid dyed yarn I posted about before.

I like to wear my hair up, but I also have to be really good about keeping my ears covered because I get earaches in the wintertime. I have a fleece headband I wear a lot, but I thought this would be a fun pattern to try and a good use for the yarn I dyed.

Details:

Pattern - Calorimetry by Kathryn Schoendorf
Yarn - Knitpicks Wool of the Andes in "Cloud" overdyed with kool-aid
Needles - size 7 Knitpicks Options circular, used to knit flat

Notes:

I modified the pattern by casting on 108 stitches and doing 10 repeats of row 5. I read that a lot of people had this turn out rather large when knit exactly as written. I skipped doing a gauge swatch, but thankfully it turned out great!

I was digging around for a button and came across this clear hair barette and used it to snap the two ends together. It looks cute and I can skip sewing on a button.
