Machine Knitting from Becca's Crazy Projects

A friend of min had some Lion Brand Mandala she no longer wanted. She gave it to me and I decided to turn it into hats. This is what it looked like on the machine before I started the decreases for the top of the hat.

This photo, and the next, are more for me than you. Tension can be a tricky thing for a machine knitter. This is my tension setting on the yarn mast. I almost never change it. I just set it there and leave it alone.

What I do change, is the stitch length selector. This ...

Machine Knitting from Becca's Crazy Projects

Last week I did some machine knitting. I knit up baby hats in yellow.

I knit up hats in gray. I knit them up in gray and yellow.

I used up the last of my baby yarn on these nine hats. Such a great little project.

Machine Knitting: LK150 from Becca's Crazy Projects

Look what I bought!

After borrowing my friend's LK150 knitting machine I decided to buy my own.

This machine is really a great way to get into machine knitting. This is what it comes with. Machine and carriage, row counter, yarn mast, comb weights, and more. Everything you need to get started.

Stitch transfer tools, spare needles, claw weights, ravel cord, latching tool, clamps, machine oil.

I added in some clamps and more claw weights. Now, I'm ready to get back to knitting tiny hats.

Fleece Sewing from Becca's Crazy Projects

A friend of mine has one of those really big skeletons from Halloween. He wants to dress the big one up as a skeletal Santa and the little ones up as elves. He asked if I could make them some hats. I said sure. This is the stack of fabrics I pulled that met the red, green, black, and white requirements.

Step two was to measure the skull circumference of one of the small skeletons. We have one sitting around so that was an easy step. Then I found a free pattern, and tutorial for a Santa hat at Fleece ...

Machine Knitting from Becca's Crazy Projects

More charity baby hats!

Hats are quick projects that can make you feel like you've done something great.

I had ten to drop off with Annapolis Quilts for Kids last Saturday. This is the machine I borrowed from a friend. I like machine knitting enough I've decided to buy my own LK 150 so I can keep making these charity hats.

Machine Knitting from Becca's Crazy Projects

Last week end I pulled out the LK150 and knit up some more baby hats for charity.

These little hats work up quickly, with the knitting taking about 30 minutes for each hat. I then spend another 10-15 minutes seaming them. These will be headed to Annapolis Quilts for Kids.

Quilted Jacket Sew Along – Extras! from From My Carolina Home

The jacket was done, and I just could not bring myself to throw away the bits left over from the pattern cutting step. This doesn’t look like much, but I just had to figure out something to do with these. Settle in for a long and picture heavy post as I finish everything left. Now, note that all these pieces are quilted already, so sewing them together in the traditional way would be problematic. But ever one to relish a challenge, I had an idea.

I straightened the edges, leaving the angles, and placed the pieces up against each ...

Machine Knitting from Becca's Crazy Projects

Sometimes things don't go as planned. I was nearing the cast off of this machine knit hat and managed to drop all the stitches. That just means I got to knit it again. It wasn't the right size anyway.

I cast on again and managed to finish the hat. I'm still trying to figure out the perfect tension and stitch counts to reliably make a beanie appropriate for my noggin. I'm hoping to figure it out so I can make some more charity hats. I should use my Knitter's Handy Book of Patterns to get ...

Machine Knitting from Becca's Crazy Projects

I came across a video on YouTube that explained how to make a simple beanie on the LK150. Since I'm in the learning stages with the flat bed knitting machine I thought it would be a great way to learn some new tricks, or apply what I know to a practical project.

I used almost all of the weights for this one. The crown decreases are made manually so it is a little slow going. Still faster than my hand knitting.

When it came off the machine I knew it was going to be too large for my little ...

Split Decision Finish from Becca's Crazy Projects

Finished my Split Decision Hat by Shanalines Designs (Ravelry link). I shared about this project a few weeks ago in this post from February 4th.

This was a fun pattern with a different construction technique that was fun to learn.

I'm sure I will make another. Maybe with more of a marled effect. I'll let you know how it works out.

Yarn includes leftover sock yarn from Knit Picks, Uneek Sock, and Into the Whirled.

Warm Knitting from Becca's Crazy Projects

I started a new hand knit project this week. It isn't much to look at now but it will become a delightful hat. This is the Split Decision Hat by Shanalines Designs (Ravelry link). I picked it up a while back and hadn't tried it yet. I saw one of their designs on Instagram and decided it was time to get knitting. I like designs that have unconventional construction techniques and this is one of those designs. I'm sure it will look more like a hat when you see it next.

Welcome to 2022 from Becca's Crazy Projects

I want to start off the new year with a review of what I did in 2021.

I quilted a total of 76 charity quilts in 2021. That exceeded my personal goal of 52 in a calendar year. This scrappy quilt is just one.

I made so many pairs of socks. These are likely my favorite because I made them using leftovers of Thick Sock from Knitterly Things. And, they are for me. Now that winter has arrived in the northern hemisphere I get to wear my wool socks every day and that's just wonderful!

I bought so much ...

Sometimes you just knit from Becca's Crazy Projects

I'm not entirely sure how this one will turn out. I started with a narrow crescent. No pattern, just an idea and a need to knit. Nothing but knit stitches.

Then joined in the round. I'm using two cakes of sport weight from Freia Fine Handpaint Yarns. My hope is to end up with a small poncho. I think it more likely I will end up with a cowl. I'm going to soldier on in any case. I love watching ombre yarns change colors.

Travel Maker from Becca's Crazy Projects

Last week we had to travel to Rhode Island for business. My partner did the driving. I used that time to work on some hats for Knots of Love.

I combined different yarns using the same pattern.

This is a quick pattern that makes a great beanie in a short period of time.

I looked at loads of patterns and ended up settling on this design of my own. Alternate between double crochet and single crochet rows. Make all stitches through the back loop. So simple yet very effective when alternating yarns. The one above was made with two different ...
