Wrapping up the Delta Hat KAL

August 31, 2015 1 Comment

Check out the Delta Hat, an asymmetrical cloche  that's a blast to knit!

It’s that time, guys. Time to look back on some of the amazing finished Delta Hats you guys have made during this knit along and to announce the giveaway winners! This was my first time hosting a mostly Ravelry-based KAL, and getting to chat and answer questions in almost-real time was fun! I can’t thank everyone who participated enough, and I look forward to the next Hands Occupied knit along. (I may or may not have a couple ideas in mind for the next one already!)

Check out some of the finished Deltas:

Congratulations to Ravlery users kscrapper and vreinholz, you fine ladies have each won the Allure Fiber Wash sample packs, and extra big congrats are in order for prrlgirl, who won her choice of two skeins of Bijou Basin Ranch’s newest yarn, Xanadu. I’ll be in touch over email with how to claim your prizes. :)

Finally, I really want to take a minute to thank everyone who chatted in the Ravelry group for giving great feedback on how you like to wear your Deltas. You all gave me awesome insight into what I can tweak in future patterns, and as a growing designer, I’m so grateful for your kind and super useful thoughts!

If you look closely, you’ll see I’m casually k If you look closely, you’ll see I’m casually knitting from one sweater into another here, no big deal. (What can I say, I lost a game of yarn chicken. 😂) I almost didn’t post this because I was worried someone might have some nonsense to say about my ability to knit. Then I remembered I can’t care about that. Silly me, I almost forgot myself!

Speaking of which, dang it’s good to have my mental health back consistently after the past couple of years. The anxious parts of my personality are just chilling, rather than constantly screaming that my work isn’t good enough to share. The confident parts of me that matter have me creating (and starting to share my creations & process with strangers and friends) again!
