Hi - I did my hat in Black and off-white. So happy with finished hat as it is as warm as it is light as a feather. The pompom is pinned on to be removed when washing.

I was amazed at how nicely mine smoothed out with just steam blocking!

Two happy hats. #arneandcarlos #moderndailyknitting. The KAL is the most fun I have had with knitting. Thank you everyone.

The first time I finished a kal on time! I rarely use the same yarn as the designer and I don’t think I have ever used the same colors, but I love this yarn and the bright colors. Near the top I did substitute pink for some of the gray-white just because I wanted to see how the pink would look beside the red. I also need to block this hat. I have never steam blocked, but plan to try it. I am pleased with how it turned out.

Finished. Just now. Great project. Will steam into better shape next.

Very fun scarf!
I’ve started tightening the second stitch on my own. Good to know it’s a thing. 
But if I have floats, I don’t tighten anything, because that’s been contributing to my uneven tension.
I like this, especially with the 2 color ribbing.
Made two Setesdal hats then tried a couple of other stash-busting projects (a striped hat and a marled belt) to continue working with this beautiful yarn. #arnecarlos # moderndailyknitting

Thank you, Jeanieslp.
Very happy with the result (even if I did a mistake by repeating a line) and it fits (I am glad I added one pattern repeat while using US4 needles for the stranded work. I would never have chosen these colors myself, so thanks to Arne and Carlos for the color choices. Now I want to knit another one in 2 colors (red and white) even if it takes me another month.

I usually give a little extra tug on the second stitch after switching to the next needle. That tends to work pretty well for me. Sometimes when i notice a loose stitch here or there and i don’t feel like frogging, I use duplicate stitches to tighten them up.

One done, half of the second mitten done. With all the snow, it has been perfect mitten knitting weather.

Now that’s an efficient use of leftover yarn. The woven belt is especially imaginative!

Hi Nancy,
Did you win the grand price from Arne and Carlos? Congratulations!! All 4 hats and color combos were really nice. I liked that picture as soon as I saw it. With that price you will now be able to do the sweater…

Thanks! I was so surprised that I screamed and my husband running toward me was worried something had happened to me. Needless to say, it took me the whole day to relax and meditate.
Yes, I’ll be able to knit the sweater. In the meantime, I am knitting WIP to keep busy and relaxed. My husband is celebrating by wearing the gold one.
