This year’s theme for CHI is ‘Weaving the Threads of CHI’, inviting us to see the connections between different strands of research and how they connect the field. To provide the community with an opportunity to reflect on how different aspects of the field come together to create something each of them could not do …

No Blow Hat
Viennese winds can be harsh, particularly if you’re a child. Having had their previously favourite hat blown off their head numerous times, I was asked to please make another hat, that doesn’t do that. Behold, the No Blow Hat, so elastic, it clings onto your head without pressure (and, as a side effect, fits most …
Bobble Hat
I started creating patterns again. So here comes one that is surprisingly easy, but comes with a bunch of interesting different shapes and effects. Still not good at making pictures, though. You’ll need: about 75g of bulky yarn for main colour (MC); about 20g of bulky yarn for contrasting colour (CC), 4.5mm needles (either double …
Fancy Sweatbands
This pattern was mostly an experiment with a multicoloured Wollmeise yarn I had still lying around. But hey, why not have a fancy sweatband! You need about 25g of fingering yarn and 2.5 mm double-pointed needles. Multicoloured yarn adds the nice colour-effect. Abbreviations: k — knit p — purl k2tbl — knit 2 stitches through …
Multicoloured Hourglass
This is just a colour pattern, that I used as a substitute in a Norwegian Sweater, but I wanted to share that with peeps in order they want to conduct a similar feat. It has been created with a sense of symmetry and triangles. It came originally not with the hourglass idea, but upon actually …
Quick Mittens
Last year my sister got a loop made with Manos del Uruguay’s Silk Blend (Luisa). This year I also made her a matching hat of from the same wool upon request as a thank you for proof reading my Master’s thesis. This weekend I had a visit from her and told her that there was …
Space Antenna Hat
So I did the first Space Invader Hat, that I made a dozen pieces of and everybody was happy. But there is always someone, who want something different. In order to fulfil all needs brought towards me, I made this second hat. And I want to share the pattern with you folks. It is very …
Space Invader Hat
Years ago, I started these and gave them all around. However, I never published a pattern for them. With an upcoming move, I remembered that I promised someone to make them one and haven’t managed in five years (there are _good_ reasons for that, though). Finally, I made another one and this time, I thought …
Crocodile Stitch Hood
Following mostly the pattern available at bonitapattern.com, I created this hood with the Evento wool by Lana Grossa.
Scarf
Well, I know it is spring, but this scarf also took me some time. While it is not apparent how long it is, I hope the pattern comes out nicely. Cudos to Kieran Foley for the pattern itself, which I slightly modified, because I found the consistency between certain parts more interesting. I also made …
