I started playing with excel, and have cast on for a Bohus inspired hat.
Knitting close up.
It will never be as delicate, or look as blended, as the true Bohus. This yarn is heavier (though still fine at 7 stitches to the inch) and doesn't contain any angora.
The yarn, the chart, the knitting.
I'm reworking my charted ideas as I go. Some things that looked great on paper just don't seem right in yarn. I was going to try a tam type of hat, but then I decided that I shouldn't mix colorwork and major shaping in my frist color design. So it's slated to be a basic beanie style hat, with colorwork going around the side, one color ribbing, one color top.
And, a mitten update.
Close up of pretty cuffs attatched to mitten hand.
Left hand progress, hand is done, thumb is almost done.
The two in-progress mittens together. Phase one is almost complete, just a little knitting to go on the left thumb. Next I knit the flip top part of each hand. Then I'll work on the lining.
Then I can wear them.
