A Ymir 2026 I setup a display of my progress in knitting. I (of course) neglected to get any pictures of the display. The display image is from KASF 2026. I included the following items: Scholar’s hat Display document about Scholar’s Hat.In 2018 my mother taught me to knit. We both knit a scholar’s hat using Wicked Woolens/Sally Pointer’s pattern…
(I actually finished this in May 2019 but realized that I’d never hit publish on the blog post). After my first thrummed cap I decided I wanted something a bit different. The first cap did not have a brim. It was also thrummed during the knitting (fiddly) and I felt that at 6″ the thrums were too long. Lastly after…
