Katherine the Great
I like to think of myself as a storyteller. Mostly I tell stories about knitting.

Hi, my name is Katie and I’m addicted to Plucky Knitter yarn. After joining the Plucky group on ravelry, it turns out I have a less serious problem then some folks, so…. I should get more.

Plucky Knitter Stash

The Husband is my favorite enabler and I got Plucky yarn for our anniversary again this year…just in time for Plucktember, that time of year when Plucky fans strategize and knit knit knit with Plucky yarn. There are competitions and random drawings and a good time is had by all. The idea of Plucktember lining up with a September Hunter Hammersen Polyommatus corydon KAL inspired me to buy some chocolate colored sport-weight yarn and knit up this beauty.

Primo feels great whilst knitting and against my face. Happy Plucktember!

      I don’t know. WHERE have you been? I learned of Plucky via Hunter Hammersen’s blog, violentlydomestic.com

  2. How pretty! I just bought my first Plucky Knitter and am already knitting it. I’m hoping I will finish in time to call it a Plucktember knit.

    I’ve yet to try plucky yarn, isn’t it hard to come by?

    • Katie says:

      It can be. My secret is to put plucky knitter on twitter text alerts when I’m on the hunt for new stuff.

  4. I adore Plucky also, wonderful yarn to work with.

    Love the hat pattern and the colour really shows off the stitch pattern well

  5. Happy Plucktember! Now that’s a whack of yarn. Ravelry is an awesome place – there’s always SOMEONE with more stash :) Cute hat!
