Months after initially writing this pattern it has finally been released!
I originally wrote this pattern up before Thanksgiving and I had a wonderful test knitter named Cathy who test knit the whole thing over Thanksgiving weekend. She sent me some awesome feedback, and then my life kind of went insane.
The hat pictured above was knit up with some of my handspun, which is around the same weight as Cascade 220. The hat will work with any worsted weight yarn and I can’t wait to see it knit up in more yarns.
The hat features 1×1 cables in a “crazy’ pattern to add a little bit of fun to your hat.
If you have cabled before, you can knit this hat. So head on over to Ravelry and buy now. It is a fairly simple pattern overall.
Make sure to tag your projects on Ravelry! Happy Knitting!
P.S. Regularly scheduled blogging returning in the next week

Big and Little Cabled Socks
Just before Christmas I had a sock pattern design in my head. I really wanted to knit it up, but the Christmas knitting needed to be finished.
In January I charted out the patterns and finally started knitting. I asked around for a few test knitters and had an awesome response! I sent out the pattern in mid-February for everyone to test.
One of my favorite parts about this pattern is that it worked for both heavily variegated yarn and solid color yarn. Between my three test knitters and I we covered the spectrum of yarns. My original pair was knit in Hill Country Yarns Sock and my test knitters all knit theirs in The Knitted Geek Yarns Version 2.0.
The pattern is finally ready to go and is up on Ravelry for people to purchase! As of right now all purchases must go through Ravelry. If there is a large demand for it I will post it elsewhere for purchase.

Yarn: Fingering Weight Sock Yarn
Yardage: 400-450 yards

Thanks SO much to my test knitters for helping out!
