Lake Superior is so awe inspiring every time I see it. I can't wrap my head around what I see and the word "lake." It would be hard to work with such a view!

Your hats are beautiful and so is your model. Hope you knit a lovely hat for yourself soon!

Getting Warmer Hat, made as a gift.

I have yet to make a hat for myself.

A handmade knit hat is partially draped over a skein of yarn. The hat has a ribbed cuff with the rest of the hat done in garter stitch. The yarn is purple dappled with varied shades of warm and cool tones.

I have never knit a plushie before, so if you have a trick you've learned, advice, or any helpful comment, I'm all ears!
I'm gifting an adult, so one would hope I don't need to worry about choking hazards. But, ya never know!

Three hanks of yarn are stacked on the left side of the frame. A light yellow twist, a black twist, and a yellow-orange twist. On the right is a book about knitting Pokemon plushies.

So I pick out yarn in my lys, as one does, and I think I have a muted purple-grey. I get home and pull my yarns out into the sun and my purple be purpling. Guess I have to go back to buy more yarn, ohhh nooo...

Downtown Marquette, Michigan, USA. I have an ever growing list of favorites places in the UP, and Marquette is one of them.

A black and white photo of a city sidewalk. Shops line the left side of the frame. The shops are two-storied brick buildings with awnings that cover the first floor window fronts. Half of the sidewalk nearest the street is brick lined. A bench sits near the shops and a street lamp and bike rack line the street on the right.

I've made some barely noticeable progress on my 2nd Classic Icelander.

Project details are in Ravelry and access to the Dale Garn free pattern and Highland Wool yarn are in my Pinterest.

A handknit sweater unfinished on scrap yarn and needles on a wooden surface. The sweater is purple with a cream diamond pattern with a center dot. The sleeves cuffs and hem have a double cream stripe. The sleeves sit on the bottom of the frame horizontally, the ends are on scrap yarn to hold stitches. The body of the sweater is at the top of the frame on circular needles.

I believe you! Our visit to Black Rocks was during August 2023 and the wind off Lake Superior was freezing. No way was I touching the water.

Definitely beautiful, and I would bet people who jump off rocks into watery rocks may have a bad time.
