Ross/Paper Daisy Creations.   Upon return some holiday knitting was happening and this project went missing... turns out, missing in plain sight!    It was in the knapsack project bag with the leftover yarn from Confectionery which was hung on the back of a chair.  Picked back up Feb 23, 2025 as part of the Olive & Two ...

 Lisa K. Ross/Paper Daisy Creations is one of my favorite designers and Emma's Yarn is some of my favorite yarn.   Combine the 2 together with a kit from Emma's mothership aka Four Purls Yarn shop and the result is a pair of patterns in my queue.    A Taste of Brioche Hat (mittens are in my queue, but a few other projects are priority)... 

I added Game Day Mystery Knit Along with Marly Bird to the queue; there was also a Mystery Crochet Along.  I didn't gauge swatch and should have... but I have plenty of yarn... Herrschner's Heather 8 worsted weight in Deep Sea and Teal Lake.  #mmmdi #gamedaymkal  So when your toddler-sized hat is much too big... and you don't feel like ripping it out... you finish it as a teen or adult sized cowl and you call it done and move on to other projects in your queue.  I'll probably give it another go on smaller needles so that I'm at gauge... but it was fun to knit along prior to the Super Bowl being on.    

 Ex's and O's the Lonely Hearts Club 2023 hat pattern by Becky Beagell of Nomadic Knits #nomadicknits.  Yarn is from Olive & Two Ewe Studios #oliventwoeweprojects on Homer DK base in Bad Moon Rising & Candy Shards  Ex's & O's by Becky Beagell colorwork  Steele claiming the ELB and the hat Steele is not amused

 The De Novo Hat by Brooklyn Boy Knits/Louis Boria is the Knit Stars Yarniverse wardrobe basics KAL for Q4 2024.  Yarn is Fuzz Famly for Kraeo Big Brother Aran in Dirty Denim which is the Knit Stars colorway.  The pattern was easily memorized and made for an easy and relaxing knit.   It's a good candidate to adjust stitch count and yarn weight to make other sizes.
