Hubris (thumb for scale):

I finally spun your rolags!! All into one bobbin that I then chainplied ^_^

This is wonderful and squishy and Somft 💕💕💕

Also, changing a lot in thickness from start to finish because I had to pause for a while bc no time...

Not sure yet what I'll make from it, but until then I'll feast my eyes on it and squish it with much delight!

I made moar!! xD

A strawberry bunny, an ender bunny, a lemon bunny and a blue bunny!

I started a new project!

With selfspun yarn, yay!

I've done all the increase rounds, working on the "walls" already.

It's gonna have sections!

I need a Dice Bag with sections xD

Hook: 5 mm

Yarn: selfspun, but I'm to lazy to look up with which fibers

I'm nålbinding a hat for a friend, in Korgen stitch (FS 1+2 F1), tentatively hoping to get it done for his birthday next month, but... well, I'm dealing with time, body and energy restraints, so I won't push me and he'll get it whenever it's finished. He won't need it in summer anyway xD

Anyway, le hat has a bump at the top!

I didn't make the bump on purpose it just happened, and I think it did so for 2 reasons:

First, my counting was off bc of how I used the stitch marker. I was still figuring that out and it is still kinda complicated because i still don't know the structure well enough to say "if I bind into this loop from the last round, this corresponds to this loop in the new round i'm making".

I dohave figured out a way now that still goes mainly by vibes, but is a little more precise I think.

Second reason for the bump, is my tension. It's gotten more, well, tense, which you can actually see in this picture of the wrong side of the hat:

The bump has much looser stitches, and the rest of the fabric is denser!

And that's because i started pulling a little on the "off-thumb loop" of the Korgen stitch, so that it's like half way between "thumb thickness" and "thick end of the bone needle thickness".

So that's a thing I learned from this hat, and I'm very happy with it :D

I am pondering whether to remove the bump, like, cutting it out and putting in a flat center, or not. Leaning on leaving it in for the time being, because I don't know if i want to put the extra hassle on myself, also it doesn't look that weird on the head.

By the way, the round I'm doing now?

It's the *stitch 12, increase* repeat ** round x_X I have never had this many increase rounds with a hat before, and I am 100% sure that there's so many counting errors in there xD

Sometimes I start a stitch, counting, and when I finish the stitch I don't remember what I counted! Like, I do have the RAM of a goldfish sometimes o_O But! One day I will have figured out how to "read" the fabric, so that I can find that last increase and count again from there! xD

Counting stitches is my nemesis, and projects that involve a lot of counting, always take the longest time.

I'll be so glad once the increase counting is over omg xD
