I never planned on getting a circular knitting machine, but my kids pointed one out at the thrift store, and it was only $2.99! I couldn’t say no. This was my first one:
I had another knife cat patch, so this one went on my niece’s 14th birthday present. This was the first one I did with a brim, I’m much more of a slouchy/beanie person but I thought the brim would look great on my niece.
I’ve learned so much from videos and groups, including how to fix dropped or tucked stitches, and this awesome way to attach pompoms! These are little balloon clips. You just pull the elastic through the center of the hat and pop it into the slots. That way you can take it off to wash the hat, or reverse the hat for a different design.
I love your hats! That pompom thingymajig is a game changer. I can add floofs and not just ones I make myself. A DIFFERENT COLORED FLOOF EACH TIME IF I WANT!
Clearly, that knitting machine was waiting there for you. Your kids did a good job pointing it out.
They all look so cozy and fun. And the pompom trick is very clever.
These are great and you seem to be enjoying it which is even better! Your patches use is genius! I’ve got several that I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to use and this opens up a whole new option- thanks!
Awesome! I love the colors in the one for your son and those cat patches are hilarious. Super cool pompom swapping tool! I was wondering what you did with the pompom on the reversible one.
