Knitting designer/teacher/author/blogger. Late to this party, but I’m here!

I’m fairly new here, so here’s my intro. I design, teach, and blog about knitting. I have two helpful knitting cats Biscuit and Calvin, and a supportive non-knitting DH. Blog is at pdxknitterati.com
You have yarn! I’m planning a worsted weight hat next. Maybe brioche.
I can barely keep track of my own small business! Scaling up with frog hats is not my dream…
My father-in-law was a law professor, and he kept a pocket Constitution in his briefcase!
Yes we can! We are all frogs! 🐸
The eyes have it! I could embroider a nose and/or mouth, but I like minimalist!
I wrote a pattern to put all the froggy bits together, plus video tutorials for cast on and bind off hints.
It was great to see you, too! There are generally knitters and artists on Thursday mornings. I can’t commit on a regular basis; I’ve been skipping class!
Portland Frog Hat, inspired by the Portland Frog. FREE pattern on my website: pdxknitterati.com/pdxknitterat...
🧶 I knit this yesterday in front of the ICE facility, peacefully protesting with other knitters and painters.

How do you start knitting a frog hat? Rib it! Rib it! 🐸

I did try it both ways…for science!
It was delicious! Plums cut side down lets all the juices go INTO the cake. YUM.
