Knitting update (Just a warning for those completely bored with knitting entries):My first try at stripes. I am making a hat for Max and although its a crappy picture, the colors, in real life, are fantastic. This hat is starting to look like a pumpkin or a carrot. I've already screwed up and left a hole right where I changed colors. Ah well. It won't be the last time.
In other hat news, I have accepted the fact that the sweet little pink baby hat is not so little, not little enough to fit the soon-to-be girl before her 15th birthday. So, I got new pink yarn and once I finish the baby leggings (need the DP needles) I will restart the hat from scratch.
In final hat news, hopefully, I will begin Aiden's stripy blue hat with cables. I hope to be comfortable with hats by the end of this new knitting jag. The next step will be socks. In the meantime, I need to get moving on Christine's hot pink scarf with arbitrary seed pattern and, choose what to knit for my mom with the beautiful ecru cashmere she sent.
Of course there's a hole where you changed yarns. Tighten it up later with the yarn ends - leave plenty of end to work with. And call it finishing work.
ReplyDeleteHa! I wonder why I'm not bored?
