I’ve finished a few things lately:
Master Level I Hat Project
This was a Ravelympics project. I finished it in just a week. I was surprised and pleased to have done it so fast. I got good gauge, and most of my “jogless joins” went pretty well. I’m a little nervous about one of the jogless joins, but hopefully it will be ok.

I’m very excited to report that I’m closing in on the grand finale of my Master Level I project.

Please don’t tell me I have to reknit just to identify them!?!?! Continue reading
