Hi all

I’ve been away from the site for a while due to depression. Got my knitting needles back out and here is a hat for a very dear friend. It’s knitted on 4mm needles with King Cole DK yarn.

Lovely colours, purplepixie, well done. Your friend will love it, I'm sure.

What stitch have you used in the main part?

It's great. I love the colours. I agree that knitting is a good stress buster.

Lovely colours in that hat. The stitch above the rib looks unfamiliar. What is it? You're right knitting is very relaxing when it goes right!

Beautiful, cheery hat. Your friend will be delighted

I knit some rows every day, colourwork so it is slow mo knitting, very calming and yesterday I watched a christmas feel-good film on prime, while knitting and enjoying a mug of tea. Bliss

Love the hat and your choice of colours. I have picked up my knitting needles again after a long break and agree that knitting is very therapeutic and relaxing. With best wishes for your continued recovery.

What a beautiful choice of colours, easy to spot your artistic talent. Hope you’re still painting those delightful flowers that you’re so good at.
