But I promise, I made the hat in late January! I made it for a friend who was visiting for Gasparilla, the pirate festival in Tampa.
It was too cold to wear to Gasparilla. But it cooled down the next day, so we took the hat to play shuffleboard.
More details can be found on my blog.
Well the deadline of March 15th fast approaches and I am almost there. This intarsia is far more difficult than I was giving it credit for, or maybe it is just the small size that I chose to work with. Not to mention that I found my original plan of working in the round just a bit to tight, or at least for my current skill level in this technique. So I ended up creating my project in two panels that I then stitched together, in spite of my knitting book telling me that this technique must always be worked in the round. Admittedly I did find the wrong side (purl) stitches a bit confusing. So bottom line is I am far fom happy with my project and I still have to finish my liner before the project is actually finished. Should happen tomorrow night, but at the moment I need to get some sleep for work tomorrow. In any case, below is a pic of my current status. I am hoping that our fair administrator will accept my project with a small extension, but of course I understand if not. Rules are rules. Thanks for the great knit along. If nothing else I learned a lot in my three or four iterations of this project.
I’m almost done! I’ve hit a few hiccups over the last month, but I’m catching up. Hopefully, I’ll get it done today. If you want any more details, check out my blog.
It fits!
Only took 3 tries to make it so..but now it fits like a dream.
I’m going to let my man have it..I got a “thing” with hats..not all of them…just some. He likes it, so it is his (and I get a little stress of my back because I finally made him something! =) )
Hope everyone is getting some good knitting time!
right after I get this shortie sock off the needles. The yarn is here already, so all is a go!
Arrr………. This be me latest results of James’ bag. I went t’ me lys and vegged out for about 30 minutes workin’ on it.
My husband surprised me with a digital camera for Valentines Day. The colors are so clear and pretty now.
I finished my hat! All ye dirrrty details be found on me blog.
I finished my hat a little over a week ago and posted about it on my own blog, but I forgot to post my completed picture here.
I started a pair of mittens in the same colors, but I’m going to have to frog and start over. The mitten was too small. I think I’ll try using size 4’s this time.
I finally had time to work on my hat this weekend. I was very dumb and thought I would use my US size 6 needles last week and started my hat. First I had my work twisted and as I was frogging it I noticed how gargantuan the hat was going to be.
There is a reason why people write a pattern a certain way.
Anyhow below is my progress over the weekend. I am using the Lion Wool and I am actually enjoing it. It is a tad bit scratchier than Cascade 220 but I think I will use it again. It is spun nicely. I am also using a slighly smaller guage than the pattern calls for now.
I am hoping to have this finished before this weekend. More to come later!
Well… here’s what I had done as on my first WCTP as of yesterday.
But this picture was taken only moments before it was frogged… It was going to be a little to tight for the hubby, so I’m starting over. I don’t have any larger 16in circs, though, so I’m going to try to just knit a little looser… Hopefully that works!
