Here is a 4-cornered hat from a Classic Elite Tapestry hat kit that I made for my friend Brad. I wish they still made Tapestry and I wish they still made those fun kits. The kits just had some photos, some general instructions and a lot of colors you'd never put together in a million years. But I always loved how they turned out. And the mohair content of Tapestry makes the colors so radiant.



I'm more than halfway up through the "dreaded boring part" in the Sirdal sweater. I don't think I'm going to do the button band the way it is in the pattern. I may do something more similar to this similar Norwegian cardigan pattern from Pinnsvindesign with the Norwegian braid and clasps. Pinnsvindesign also has some wonderful kits for Norwegian beaded wrist warmers. I've always wanted to make some but I can't imagine myself ever wearing them. Another kit I've been eyeing lately is this kit for the Van Gogh Stole in the black and rainbow colors. I'd love to try mitered knitting but I'm not sure I want a scarf that isn't reversible.
