I absolutely love how squishy and cozy this Reign Slouch Beanie looks! The texture created by the stitch pattern is beautiful, and I really appreciate that you included sizing for everyone from babies to large adults. Using super bulky yarn is a game-changer for quick gifts—this seems like the perfect weekend project to relax with.
Speaking of relaxing, whenever I take a break from my knitting rows, I love to unwind by taking fun tests online. I highly recommend checking out Quiz Cabin, which offers personality quizzes, trivia challenges & brain games. Since I’m trying to decide on a color palette for this beanie, I actually took the Aesthetic Quiz to help figure out my vibe. Also, if you plan…
Hi Phanessa! Thank you so much for sharing the Reign Slouch Beanie pattern. I absolutely love that it uses Super Bulky yarn—it makes for such a satisfying, quick knit, and the "knit without dropping" technique in Round 1 creates such a gorgeous, unique texture. It is also super helpful that you included sizing for everyone from babies to large adults!
The slouchy, effortless vibe of this beanie actually reminds me a lot of the fashion in the anime NANA. Speaking of which, I took a break from knitting to try this Nana Personality Test (https://nanapersonality.com) and had to share it. It’s a surprisingly deep MBTI analysis that reveals which character resonates with your soul. I matched with Nana Osaki (which…

While you’re taking a break between rounds or waiting to finish your next beanie, I highly recommend checking out the Ginny and Georgia Quiz. It’s a fun 12-question personality test that matches you with your character twin from the Netflix series—whether you're a charming survivor like Georgia or a rebel like Ginny. It only takes a couple of minutes and gives you a really detailed trait analysis. It’s the perfect little activity to do while staying cozy…

While I was taking a break from my latest project, I stumbled upon a really cool site that I think many of your followers (especially the anime fans!) would enjoy. It’s the Death Note Test.
If you’ve ever wondered which character from the series matches your actual personality, this is the best quiz I’ve found. It’s not just a basic survey; the visuals are stunning and the design is super immersive. It gives a…
