Ravelryer lorix5 (Instagram loritimesfive inspires me againI discovered Lori’s projects on Ravelry years ago when a knitting friend challenged me to find a pattern for a scarf/loop posted on Etsy. I now own and cherish Lori’s hand knit loop “My Favorite Things.” Lucky find and timely purchase when Lori sold it on Etsy!! I follow Lori on Instagram, loritimesfive. She was wearing this hat in a recent photo she posted and I MUST knit it
