First up, the exciting news that ALL OF MY HAT PATTERNS ARE CURRENTLY 20% OFF! You can browse them here on my website (CAD) and here on Ravelry (USD). No coupon code needed, the sale runs until the end of the day on December 25th so you’ve got loads of time to pick your favourites.
Among those patterns there’s one new design that just launched yesterday! The Ceej Hat (on my website and Ravelry) is a classic ribbed beanie with really neat decreases that are just so satisfying to knit. A version of The Ceej Hat is the only hat that Chris has worn for the past decade or so. It’s a classic 1x1 ribbed beanie that is very versatile in both fit and style. Every time I post a picture of Chris on social media there is a very high likelihood that he is wearing one of his signature watch caps - regardless of the weather, he’s a hat guy and this is his hat of choice. It is high time that Chris’ hat has a permanent place in my pattern collection. This pattern is written for baby to adult, instructions for both DK weight and worsted weight yarn are included. You can make it marled, faded, striped or a solid colour (Chris’ favourite). This hat is classic and cool, just like Chris.
Our of the 4 photos above only 1 of them was taken with the express purpose of showing off his hat! The others were taken for the mug, his Atari Sweater and the hoodie but of course he’s wearing his hat because he always it! LOL!
Honestly, these perfect marled/faded decreases make me unreasonably happy! This is why we knit!!!
Nothing makes me happier than seeing a collage of my work like this! I’ve published a lot of hat patterns over the years and taken so many photos looking off into the distance!
Ooooh this skein of Golden Mojo (a new colourway featured in a new fade) is on fire!

Ok, so I bought these sweatpants for $30 at Winners without being familiar with the brand because they are so cute and that red waistband? Yes please! And then when I got home I googled the brand and WOW! What a score. These are $250 sweatpants! LOL! Are they worth that price? Absolutely not, are they worth the $30 I paid for them? Heck yes! You’ll notice I’m wearing them in 3 of the photos in this post. Price per wear I could definitely get my money’s worth even at the $250 price tag.
Also, I really don’t want to make every post I do about my dirty mirrors/windows but man do photos ever highlight my dislike of windexing!
