I tamed the opadoo, I really did 😊 I can't believe it. It was a real challenge for me for different aspects and managed to complete it on time. I should say that I'm very proud of myself :) #giftalong2018 # giftalong # giftalong2018opadoo #gal2018 #knitting #knit #crochet #knitted #ravelry #ravelrypattern #knittersofinstagram #igknitters #instagramknitters #colorsfromspace https://www.instagram.com/p/BsCMKLRlwgw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=la7v45lowxb9

Finished, washed, dry and ready to be shipped. The pattern, King of the Castle, was a dreamto knit and the little rockets look so cute. #kingofthecastle #giftalong2018 #gal2018 #knitting #knit #ravelry #knittersofinstagram #knitgram #love #diy #handmade #stricken #pattern #strickenmachtglücklich #berlin #instaknit #strickenistmagie #berlinstrickt #strikgram #knittersoftheworld #handknit #gift https://www.instagram.com/p/BrgBoaIAFDZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1s7cyeipodp0m

Y'all. This is, somehow, my first wool hat (to keep and wear myself, that is). I can't believe how much warmer it is! 🤯 Yarn: @malabrigoyarn Worsted in Emerald Needles: sizes 7 and 8 @knit_picks Foursquare circulars and DPNs Pattern: Palamon Hat by @karendawnknits #giftalong2018head #giftalong2018 #malabrigoworsted #malabrigoyarn #palamonhat #karendawndesigns #knithat #handmadehat #GAL2018 https://www.instagram.com/p/BrdQPiwlhdR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10rjax2mkwwea

Another FO for the @indiegiftalong. This time my ornament has the year. 😁 makes me happy! . . . . . . #indiegiftalong2018 #indiegal2018 #giftalong2018 #knitornament #hoarfrost #christmasknitting #addictedtoknitting #knittingaddict #knitstagram #knittersofinstagram #arrowheadfibers https://www.instagram.com/p/BrRRPGrF_UN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dh0663n0wicr

Nearly finished with knitting the sweater. After bind off and weaving in ends, I have to make a chart for a rocket and embrioder/duplicate stitch some.

My second #giftalong2018 project, toddler and inevitably accompanying cooties permitting, will be #withoutapaddle by @kinoknits, whom I had the pleasure of meeting this fall at the @intothewoolfiberretreat! The kid clearly felt left out because he demanded I make him a hat, too, on several occasions. He chose the color blue (but not DARK blue) and seems to be satisfied with this selection from my LYS: @cascadeyarns #220superwash sport in a variegated colorway which I believe is simply called Blues. And so my pointy sticks adventures continue. #giftalong2018head #cascadeyarns #cascade220 #yarnporn #iloveyarn #blueyarn #blues https://www.instagram.com/p/BrOEzH1lhpd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mvnw2n3mlra3
