I've always wanted to knit an item then dip dye it but I held back because who wants to knit an entire piece using undyed yarn. So when I bought a 🧦 knitting machine, I knew I would finally be able to try this idea that had been brewing in my head for years. The results are exactly what I imagined!

Finished the Musselburgh Hat. 🧶 is @makerwool.bsky.social Feline yarn set. Really happy how it turned out. Gift for a man at my mom’s church - he watches out and helps her and other older women.
A finished Musselburgh Hat, photographed on a wood table. The one end of the hat is a solid gray and the rest is self-striping yarn . The color sequence of the self-striping yarn is gray, grayish white, beige/brown, beigeish white. Four views of how to wear the hat - the gray cap with a turned up brim of stripes, a striped cap with a turned up brim of stripes, and both versions with no turned up brim - making a longer slouchy hat.

20 Days Until Christmas and the cats will have a knit stocking this year!! They've both already slept on it so I take that as their approval. I used Briana Arlene's Cat Hat pattern chart and adjusted to make it a stocking. I think you could do the same idea for a sport weight 🧦

Color Development skeins are true one-of-a-kinds (or two depending). They are skeins that I was testing color combos, striping patterns and how colors play together. They'll still be beautiful self-striping skeins 🧦 but will be unique from everyone else's! Once a color is gone, it's gone. #knitsky
