I'm not even going to try to choose one favorite. 😄 I love my Tuberose Mitts and wear them several times a week this time of year. I made them from local alpaca (I met the alpaca 😁) and they are impossibly soft and cozy. However, my Almas Mitts are my new favorite because of the extra long top cuff. And they totally sold me on knitting with fingering and mohair. I love it.
I think this list gift knitting list should include your Saurus Hood pattern. It is fast, fun, and super cute. I made them for both of my nieces. 💜
Awwww!! Thank you so much Lori. Thank you for sharing your experiences and your kindest words. Meeting that alpaca though… 🥹🥹Absolutely, Saurus has become such a seasonal favorite. The only reason I don’t actively point it out to people is that it is still not updated in my latest format. It was the first ever pattern I wrote 😬😄
Wishing you a belated Happy Birthday Kavitha! Here is a link with some information about Sagittarians and this time of year by Susan Wittig Albert on her Substack.
Let's see, Why I Knit: A reflection. Perhaps in my case, why I knit is pretty close to an addiction! But only in the nicest way! lol At least, I still totally enjoy everything about knitting. And it certainly has taught me many, many things. Everything from paying attention, to figuring how much yarn to buy, to what's the difference between natural undyed yarns and Super Washed wools. Knitting is certainly a conversation starter - whether you are knitting waiting for the bus or wearing something that you knit waiting in line at the movies. For me it is the perfect hobby. Even after all of there years there is still something new to learn about knitting! Like how did Kavitha create that lovely shaped yoke on her Fluens Tee?!?!
Thank you so much Sandy! Aw, thanks for the link too. I’ve saved it for reading a little later but I had almost memorized Sagittarius pages from Linda Goodman book eons ago. Thank you for bringing back those memories.
Heavily nodding to everything you say about knitting. Definitely an icebreaker/conversation starter for me, if not for knitting I wouldn’t dare to approach strangers and ask what they were making 😀
And you are right! The one thing I haven’t talked about is the yoke part of Fluens Tee. 🫣 I will fix that it soon.
Hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving and a good weekend.
I made the Matte Hood for my daughter and it is a well written pattern, I learned new things, and the end result is gorgeous. Swatching is essential as was making a sample knit of the pattern repeat. Thanks, Kavitha! Looking forward to knitting more of your patterns!!

Also, here is a link to Fluens Preview free download, which explains the construction and a bunch of other things including schematic.
