It turns out that 2022 (or, at least, January of 2022) is destined for productivity, as evidenced by the fact I’ve got FOs rolling off my needles like chocolates from a conveyor belt.
My latest finished object is this Moon Catcher hat designed by Trysten from Dragon Hoard Yarn and sold as a kit. I bought it so I could a) wear it during our trip to Vermont over Valentine’s Day and b) knit it on the six-hour car ride, but I couldn’t wait to cast it on and, instead, wound up finishing the ribbing while we enjoyed drinks at a local brewery on Friday night. The rest of the pattern moved just as quickly and before I knew it, I was snapping the pompom on top and setting up a photoshoot before work today.
While I can’t speak highly enough of this pattern (and maybe that’s because I’ve been on a cabling kick lately), I legit can’t stop DROOLING over the yarn. It was so dreamy to knit with and I absolutely need to add more to my stash… without letting Scott see it because I think he’s ready to scream at my recent stash enhancements. Our bartender on Friday even loved the yarn so much that I talked up DHY and sent her to the website to buy her own.
I chose the Feyre Darling colorway because… reasons. ACOTAR has been one of my favorite book series for a few years now, and I’d already purchased Trysten’s Rhysand-themed Knit and Sip box for February, so I felt like I needed something for Feyre, too. I also loved the peachy-pink undertone and wanted something neutral so I could sport the hat with pretty much any coat. Suffice it to say, this hat spoke to me on many levels.
If you want to make your own, more kits are available in a rainbow of colorways, but make sure to grab them quickly because they sell out fast.
