Looks great!
I’m trying the mittens now. But I’m having a problem with loose stitches from when I go from one needle to the next.
Any suggestions?

Love your hat!
Finished and on the hat block! Followed the pattern to row 27, then knit rows 1-4 before crown shaping. It will be a pocket hat for my warmest coat. The red velvet main color is close to the color of my coat.

He loves it. This was much easier than I thought it would be, it’s only my 3d colorwork piece.

I finished this hat on February 17 and still haven’t blocked it. I immediately started a different color work hat using jumper weight yarn & have plans to make two others, then I’ll try a larger project. Thanks for giving me the push I needed to finally give color work a try!

Thank you, I pulled from my stash!

Looks great, and a nice pop of color for a walk in the woods!
Thx! It’s warm, to boot, thanks to nestled floats (and some ends I still have to weave in hahahaha).
I have 2 suggestions for correcting for loose stitches (and ladders) and both work.
- Andrea Mowry says to tighten up the second stitch on the new needle which will pull everything together. This works well without messing up gauge, at least for me.
- Arne and Carlos suggest knitting the first stitch of the new needle onto the old needle. This works well, too, but you need a marker for BOR so as not to get befuddled.
I actually like to do both methods, which is probably over compensating but it gives me peace of mind!

Lovely! Very pretty
Finished Setesdal Hat, flip flopped the colors. Used US 6 (4mm) to get gauge = 23 sts & 27 rows per 4 inches. Loved seeing all the variations in The Lounge. Onto the mittens.

I have blocked it and I can’t believe how nicely it blocked! The rim flattened out and the stitching looks so much better. It blocked perfectly without pinning but I put pins in just in case.
