One more bracelet and WIP

My crafting has been put more or less on hold due to being in and out of the hospital for some health issues, but here is one more friendship bracelet I made before getting into the hospital:

And here is my current WIP - this adorable watermelon pattern:

Oh, and I don't know if anyone's noticed, but I revamped my blog a bit! Which was long overdue. I'm really feeling the soft blue and vibrant red color combo lately.

Progress!

Entrelac scarf is going along swimmingly!



My first attempt was way too wide, so I frogged and restarted it, and now it's just perfect. It's really not a hard technique, once you get the hang of it - at this point, the hardest, most annoying thing is having to join in a different color every tier :P



I'm seriously in love with it, knitting entrelac is extremely enjoyable.

A hat, and the beginnings of a scarf

I've been meaning to make an interesting-looking beanie-like hat for a while now, and when I saw this pattern I knew this would be it.





I made my ribbed brim about an inch or so shorter than the pattern said, so I could wear it unfolded as a slouchy hat without it being too long.

I was also commissioned by a friend to knit an entrelac scarf, and I spent this morning playing around with it.



I've never knitted entrelac before, and I'm surprised at how fast it works. After the first couple of tiers everything gets a lot less confusing, the pattern is easy to remember, and it generally turns into an incredibly fun project! I'm really excited about this one.

(Also, knitting with merino will never not be a delight.)
