I am making progress on Kate Davies’ Goats of Inversnaid hat for Hans. I won’t have any trouble finishing it by Christmas if I stay on task.
I wasn’t sure if the Milarrochy Tweed yarn would work for the crisp design, but I kind of love it. I think it gives a more grown-up look to it. I’m also thinking about changing the hearts at the crown to a star, because Hans is 15. I don’t need to say anymore than that, right?
There are two knitting clubs I want to participate in for 2019, and I can’t make up my mind.
Kate Davies has an upcoming club that looks to be more design oriented, and includes an awesome journal.
Knitspot is offering the School of Wool where you learn about American sheep breeds and fibers, and you get undyed yarn to play with.
I want to do both. I can do both, right? Can I afford to do both? (Can I afford not to do both?)

The hat looks great! Stars are a good plan. I’m impressed that there is a 15 year old who will wear handknits. My son rolls his eyes if I even suggest I knit him anything.
I say go for both! You’ll learn so much, it will be well worth it.

Hans has a pretty eclectic style. He wears an alpaca sweater with an alpaca motif instead of a coat. I didn’t knit it, but we purchased it fair trade, at his request. And he does love handkniited things, but still- he has his limits.

A star on top is a great idea. I think you should do both. I’m now totally intrigued by the school of wool and I want to find a way to make it happen for me. It sounds wonderful.
