I sort to be mildly obsessed with hat knitting at the moment. There is the slight problem though that for speed I want to knit worsted (or heavier) weight hats but most of my stash is made up of 4ply. I've hit on the cunning ruse of holding 2 stands doubled though to make a fairly heavy worsted weight and I'm now on a mission to see how many hats I can extract from these 3 skeins of Tamar from @blackeryarns I'll let you know how I get on. #knittersofinstagram #igknitters #knitstagram #instaknit #instatricot #wovember #yarnlove #knitadddict #hatsforhumans #winterknitting #handmadewardrobe #thesemoments #simplethingsmadebeautiful #simplepleasures #i_loveknitting #knitlove #knitlife #hatknitting #knittedhat #britishwool #blackeryarns #greylove #tamaryarn

I really must get my stash organisation under control. Whilst having a little rootle a few days ago I can across these two perfect grey skeins of @thefibrecompany Cumbria yarn that I had totally forgotten about. I was just thinking that I needed some DK weight yarn for a hat and then lo and behold - there it was. At least I found it before I bought new yarn which is what I normally end up doing. I'm sure I can't be the only one that does that 😀😀 #knittersofinstagram #instaknit #instaknitters #igknitters #tricot #stricken #knittersoftheworld #perlestrikk #winterknitting #knitstagram #knitlove #knitlife #greylove #allthegreys #simplethingsmadebeautiful #yarnlove #wovember #wovember2017 #stash #simplepleasures #handknitsarebest #knitfastdiewarm

Rootling through my yarn stash in search of something to knit a hat with I came to the dramatic conclusion that I need more yarn! Specifically I need DK weight or heavier. This is the sum total of my "heavier weight" yarn that isn't allocated to a sweater project. I might have to double up some 4ply instead or I could celebrate the start of #wovember2017 and go yarn shopping. Over on my blog yesterday I launched my #hatsforhumans KAL. Born from a discussion around the pointlessness of making hats for little bottles (Innocent smoothie bottles) I'm encouraging everyone to knit a hat for a human this month. If you fancy joining in do tag me and let me know (and use the hashtag too) so I can see what you are up to. #wovember #knittersofinstagram #instaknit #knitlove #knitlife #craftlife #handmadewardrobe #knitwithlove #i_loveknitting #knitadddict #simplepleasures #simplethingsmadebeautiful #yarnlove #britishwool #thesimplethings #thesemomentsofmine #teaandknitting #pukkatea #thefibrecompany #greylove

#wovemberpromptchallenge Day 2: wool count 🐑🧶 Wool count for yarn and today’s cold office attire. I present you with a woolly #fbf to the first time I ordered from @bendigowoollenmills ♥️ This was the day I truly fell in love with merino wool and I haven’t looked back since. My couch has looked like this many times over the years as I have added more Bendigo yarn to my stash. Thank you to my Aussie Grandma Mavis for introducing me to the wonders of aussie wool! 🐏 And thank you to my woolly garments for keeping me warm in the Truckee office today ❄️ #wovember2018 #wovember #bendigoyarn #australianmerino #yarnlove #knittersofinstagram #knitstagram #wearalltheknits (at Fremantle, Western Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpsIeNplwIA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14lcdq0uwl85j

#wovemberpromptchallenge Day 1: what wool means to me 🐑🧶 Wool means the world to me. I honestly don’t know what I would do without merino, polwarth, romney, and shetland sheep wool. I am a knitter and wool is my love language, and nothing translates better than soft squishy delicious wool yarn.
