Brewing up @edencosmic’s fingerless gloves/wristwarmers and hat, made from extra Grover yarn from @itswilwheaton’s Muppet Hug Blanket. First, a nice wash in Soak soap, then blocking. Eden, the hat fits my giant Scottish head snugly, and I don’t know how much slouch you want in the hat, so I am blocking it on a small bowl. You can widen the brim and make it as big as you want by wetting it with cold water, and experimenting with larger bowls and even plates. You won’t hurt it. Patterns: Felicity (hat) by the Ebony Butterfly and Waffle Knit Fingerless Gloves by Jill Toporkiewicz. Yarn: @knit_picks Brava Worsted Solstice Heather. P. S.: My adorable Fur Mama insulated coffee cup is from @gossbyglobal; on the other side, it has a perfect rendition of me, Ellie, Arlo, and my much-missed Gretchen (my Weiner, named decades before the movie, though I delight that she was a dachshund). #knitting #knitpicks #knitpicksbrava #groverblue #gossbymugs #blockingknitting #blockingknits #muppethugblanket #handmade #sociallydistantcraftclub #knittersofinstagram #knitstagram

@itswilwheaton’s Muppet hug blanket is “movin’ right along”! I was just going to do large color blocks, but I saw an opportunity (which often happens in knitting) and inserted a full Ernie in all of his glory. Next color is Kermit green. The colored yarn is @knitpicks Brava that corresponded to 1970’s old-school Muppets, including overlooked intrepid reporter Prairie Dawn. The Muppets are Big Bird, Bert, Ernie, Cookie, Prairie, Kermit and Herry. The fuzzy yarn that gently variegates from lightest beige to brown—the Caron Latte Cakes—adds the furry aspect as a carry-along. The pattern: the Elm Avenue Throw Blanket by #laurenscungio and #loopsandthreads. It creates squishy sections with intense increases and decreases. I’ve making it on larger needles than called-for for extra squish. Wil, I hope this brings you and @annewheaton much coziness and comfort. If anyone wants to follow along or check it out. I made the project public on Ravelry at https://ravel.me/CarlaYarn/eatb. #knitpicks #knitpicksbrava #caronyarn #caronlattecakes #muppets #knitting #wip #ravelry #sesamestreet #prairiedawn #bertandernie #cookiemonster #bigbird #herrymonster #knittersofinstagram #knittersofravelry #knitstagram #knitting_is_love #knitlove #sociallydistantcraftclub #sdcraftclub https://www.instagram.com/p/B_vNSp1joMc/?igshid=108qir6kalkbf

Rebooting @itswilwheaton’s Muppet hug blanket. Why? It’s a long story involving many struggles, ending with the strong resolution that I will never knit with chenille again. Stitches kept gapping and stretching; it was a crime scene. Anyway! Revamped, and the end result is going to be much more joyous and colorful, and durable. I chose colors of @knitpicks Brava that corresponded to 19079’s old-school Muppets, including overlooked intrepid reported Prairie Dawn. The Muppets are Big Bird, Bert, Ernie, Cookie, Prairie, Kermit and Herry. The original yarn retained from the original plan is the fuzzy one—the Caron Latte Cakes—it adds the furry aspect as a carry-along. The pattern is the same: the Elm Avenue Throw Blanket by #laurenscungio and #loopsandthreads. I’ve making it on larger needles than called-for for extra squish. Wil, I hope this brings you and @annewheaton much coziness and comfort. Now that I have worked out the frustration (and my health is cooperating), this blanket should be “Movin’ Right Along”.
