Abandoned WIP Wednesday

It's the end of the month again, so it's time for an update on my abandoned projects. Once again, I'm sorry to say that there isn't much progress! This time around, I want to focus solely on my brain hat.

If you remember, my brain hat was a project that I started in 2020. It was a pink ribbed hat with I-cords knit around the sides in squiggles to make it look like a brain. It was meant to be a cute little accessory for Halloween.

Making the hat was the easy part, but I hand-knit each of the icords and quickly ran out of steam. It was the goal to finally purchase an icord maker and finish this in time for Halloween. Well, we are still a few months out, but take a look at where we are now!

I've removed all the icords from the hat. They're a bit squiggly from being sewn down for so long. My first step is actually to make the hat a little bit longer. I plan to use a skin-toned color so that the ribbing matches my skin, and then it looks as though my brain is popping out. Then I'm going to resew the existing icords back on the hat and make any new ones to fill the gaps.

My goal is to have this finished by Halloween! I think it's doable!

I finished my brain hat! It took me two weeks exactly. I had to put it around a mixing bowl to sew the brain tubes on.

Ikea, WTF are these hats??? WHY???

I haven’t really spent time crafting since January as the whole selling a home/buying a home thing has taken most of my energy. The rainy weather also gave me a ridiculous amount of high pain days, which took most of the remaining energy.

Although this is my cross stitch blog, I figure crocheting is a type of stitching. So I wanted to share that I finally started crocheting my brain hat for April’s Science March. I believe this phase of construction falls into “condom style.” 😂

So I hear this is the lid of choice for the science march. Can’t find a lot of confirmation but I’ve come across a couple of posts. It’s a pretty complex one and I dunno how well people are going to manage it but it’s a cool hat. Earning: the audio keeps shifting from two to one ear... annoying, but it’s not you, it’s them.
