I just finished the second in a series (currently there are only 3
designs, but that’s just because I haven’t created the 4th one I have
planned) of Game of Thrones/Song of Ice and Fire inspired sigil hats!
They look like this!
I completed the Stark hat on Monday (this is the aforementioned hat that I knit on a US5 instead of a US3…it’s comically large and was almost a bit tragic, but I think it's all going to work out) and yesterday I did the
final seaming on the Lannister hat. Next up (the yarn came this morning
as I was on my way out the door and I didn’t have time to snuggle it)
will be a Targaryen hat and then Night’s Watch. Potentially I will also
create a Greyjoy hat and maybe Tully or Martell (probably Martell, given
the content of the upcoming season of the show). All the hats are
created with a base of Knit Picks Palette and the sigils are done in
this AMAZING yarn that Knit Picks stopped making (but I snapped up all
of it that I could and still look for the sales on Ravelry) called
Imagination Hand Painted. It’s a fingering weight and has the most
amazing tonality. It’s this yarn that inspired the sigil
projects in the first place. I saw what they referred to as the “Castle
Walls” colourway and thought to myself that I needed to
find a fantasy theme to use it for. The more I thought about it and the
“Treasure” colourway, the more I realised they needed to turn into Game
of Thrones somethings. This yarn is BEAUTIFUL and the variegations are
coming through wonderfully and I am in absolute love and I hope you all
like them, too!
I have hopes that they can turn into things besides hats, but for now I want to make a bunch of hats before the premiere of season 4.
I’ll keep you updated on how things are going, and I’ll get them
listed on my commissions page as soon as I’m ready to say these are good
to go.
