🧶 It’s been a HOT minute since I’ve knitted anything! 😅
I thought I’d give my fingers a different kind of movement and let them take a little break from crocheting. So, I decided to join Jenny’s knit-along! 🧶 She said I could make one hat, and I thought, “Let’s see if I can still do this!” 🫣😂
Y’all… I feel like I fell off a turnip truck! 🤣
This hat would normally take me about 2 hours or less to make. Guess how long it took me this time? FOUR HOURS!! 😳🫠
But seriously, from the bottom of my heart ❤️, please take care of your hands, 🙌🏼 fingers, and wrists!
My hand and wrist injuries have slowed me down quite a bit. I used to be able to gauge how long a project would take me, but now my internal crafting clock is WAY off! ⏰😅 It’s a reminder that sometimes we have to slow down, listen to our bodies, and give ourselves a little grace. ❤️
✨ Friendly reminder: Stretch your hands often, do your finger exercises, take breaks, and show those hardworking hands some LOVE! 🙌🏼💕
And here it is… my START ➡️ FINISH of the Kappa Hat! 🧢🧶
🧶 Pattern: Kappa Hat
🧶 Designer: Jenny Jenny/ Wanded Knit & Crochet
