Sometimes I Make Things: Non-Felted Slippers

It's winter! So I need something warm for my feet. These non-felted slippers in oatmeal and charcoal wool are perfect. They only took a day or so to make, too, which was great. I love a quick knit.

Sometimes I Make Things: The February Lady Sweater

The February Lady Sweater is one of my more accomplished knits. It's a beautiful lacework cardigan in a rich purple. The style is a bit swingy and flirty, but still warm. It turned out a little bit large on me, but it's still a lovely finished product.

Sometimes I Make Things: The Loki Hat

While this is primarily a style blog, I am an avid knitter, so I will be dedicating some occasional space to sharing knitting projects (finished or in-progress) that I'm proud of.

Today: the Loki hat

The pattern for this hat is an adaptation of the helmet that Loki wears in the Avengers comics and film. It's done in intarsia, which makes it impossible to knit a true in-the-round hat, but I used the yarnover method to be able to work in the round for everything except the colorwork.

(Wow, my hair was long.)

This was a relatively easy pattern, even though I'm normally not a fan of colorwork, and it appeals to my nerdy side without feeling like I'm walking around in costume all day. The only drawback is that it's basically my high school colors. I might have enjoyed high school more if there were attractive Asgardian gods hanging around.
