It's Hand Knit Friday! What hand knits did you wear today?

Okay, I admit it. I didn't exactly wear this all day, but I did wear it long enough to take a photo. This is the Rio Calina Cowl designed by Cat Bordhi. This pattern, as with all of Cat's patterns, is genius. It is a free flowing river of cables that you place whenever the mood hits. Oh, and it's reversible. She designed it for a worsted weight yarn, but mine is made in a super chunky, super soft Malabrigo.

We lost dear Cat last month. I look forward to wearing her cowl on a chilly day.

It's Hand Knit Friday and Hand Made Friday! What lovely handmade creations do you have close at hand?

This is a kit I got at Stitches West 2019. It's the Crossflower Shawl designed by Katy H Carroll of Katinka Designs in Marianated Yarns Hoth Practicality. The stitch markers weren't included in the kit, but they are handmade.

I don't like being judged, ...

but I like winning.

I blocked 52 Pickup and removed about 1/2 cup of fuzz from it using a sweater shaver. IMHO, it has never looked better. The judges at the California State Fair will do what they do and results will be posted on Wednesday. *deep breath*
