		<description><![CDATA[This hat didn&#8217;t quite come out the way I&#8217;d hoped. (Katie&#8217;s Beret by Through The Loops) The brim fits fine but the hat is hugely slouchy and looks more like a mushroom than a hat. This was a fun knit but I don&#8217;t think the yarn is meant for this project. I may rip this out and try something else. I do have a total of 750 yards. I think I have an idea of what might suit this yarn<a class="more-link" href="http://www.saffronknits.net/?p=1249">[Read more]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s been a flurry of finishing here at saffronknits&#8230; here&#8217;s one! I finished the elemental hat! It was a fun mindless knitting project. The yarn went from the stripey-ness to more barberpole at the top. Next time I make yarn like this, I&#8217;ll work to keep the stripey-ness throughout the whole yarn. I think I want to make another one!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently pulled out a hat that had been languishing. (It&#8217;s Katie&#8217;s Beret by Through The Loops.) I&#8217;d started it in April and had begun the decreases and somehow my stitch count was off. Discouraged, I put it aside. I&#8217;d even considered ripping it out but when I picked it up recently, I saw how much work I&#8217;d put into it and how good it looked and I just couldn&#8217;t do it. So, I figured out what the problem was<a class="more-link" href="http://www.saffronknits.net/?p=1161">[Read more]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Remember these fingerless mitts&#8230; made out of this handspun?? Well, I had some yarn left over so I had to make a matching hat. I tried to make up a top down hat&#8230; &#8230;but it wasn&#8217;t working. So I camed across the Sockhead Hat. Very basic and simple and really allows the yarn to do most of the work. It&#8217;s designed so you fold up the ribbing over your ears to make it warmer, but I didn&#8217;t want to mess<a class="more-link" href="http://www.saffronknits.net/?p=1024">[Read more]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I finished this in mid-December and it was very well received as a Christmas gift. I really like how it came out. Gretel is a wonderfully written pattern and I learned a new cast-on (long-tail tubular cast on). I loved the cables and working with alpaca for the first time. aaaand&#8230;. I loved it so much, I just had to start another one:]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On the day that I took my spinning lesson, I sat with a knitting group while waiting for my class to begin and woman was knitting a sweater out of alapca and she let a few of us touch it. Oh. My. Gawd! I was not expecting such softness. I wanted more of that softness. So what did I do the next weekend (November 29th)? I bought some alapaca yarn, an alpaca/silk blend to be exact &#8211; Plymouth Earth Mainland<a class="more-link" href="http://www.saffronknits.net/?p=452">[Read more]</a>]]></description>
