Episode 3 - Two Hats for the Holidays




Episode 3 features two easy, quick-to-knit patterns that will be great for gift knitting, donation knitting, or just for keeping cozy! Something I forgot to mention - when sewing a seam on a project where the cuff is turned up, like the simple hat, it's easiest to start sewing the seam on the wrong side, from the crown down to the top of the cuff, then turn the hat inside out and finish sewing down to the bottom of the cuff. That way when you turn up the cuff, the cuff seam will not be visible. 

These are the little dowels I was trying to find for the pompon demo. They are 2" by 3/8". Very handy - from the craft store.

Bonus Pattern – Apple Hat After I made Episode 25, I contacted Ariel Zusya Benjamin to let him know how much I enjoyed his pattern and that I had talked about it on the podcast. I asked if he ever planned to make a PDF of the pattern, or if he would allow me to post a PDF of it on my blog. He replied and very kindly granted me permission to post the pattern here. If you like the pattern, please send him a note of thanks! Apple Hat Pattern Also - a link to the Apple Hat pattern page on Ravelry.

I decided to create a space for my YouTube podcast that would have show notes, live links, still photos, and other content that doesn't quite fit into the description space from the YouTube site. This may be easier to navigate for some (for me!) than rummaging around YouTube.  To that end - here is my obligatory photo of George and Gracie - my constant companions! George is the tiger, Gracie is the solid grey.
