I found a ridiculous amount of this fluffy black yarn at a thrift shop a while back and knew it was about time I made myself a basic black scarf. I figured the yarn and the sheer size of it would stop it from being boring.
The knitting really has become a thing this winter. This scarf was almost exactly like the last cowl I knitted so to make it a little different I added the fringe all around it. I'm not entirely sure how commited I am to the fringe but for now it stays.
I bought this nice thick yarn last winter to make a hat out of it. The yarn was only enough for half a hat with the stitch I tried. I put it away and completely forgot about it. But while roaming the internet I saw these instructions for a headband and decided I really wanted to try it. I'm not entirely sure how much of a knit headband person I am (especially with the amount of wild curls I have) but I still really like the headband. You might be able to tell in this picture I accidentally lost track of where I was in the pattern and ended up messing up the braiding a little bit but you can only tell if you're looking for it.
No shortage of knit pieces here on the blog lately, so without further ado, here's another. The hat is made out of a really nice and soft sock yarn and the ribbing out of a plain black yarn. Sometimes you just need something a little playful to wear.
After finishing my recent hat I decided it would be nice to have a matching scarf. What I really wanted was to knit something quick and easy, hence this cowl.
Don't know if I ever mentioned how great my mother is, but in case you didn't know, she's the bestest. I'm a huge fan of knit scarfs and hats but I am not a fan of actually knitting them. So being the lovely woman she is, my mother made me a black slouchy toque.
I really love the stitch of the knit and how it fits. The truth is, you can never go wrong with a black hat!
