Hat 11 is the Helmet hat from Vogue’s Ultimate Hat Book and
knit out of Spud & Chloe’s Sweater. It took forever to knit. It was not
hard, but very fiddly. There are cables and twisted stitches. It is supposed to
have an extra band thingy at the bottom of the hat. The first time I did the
band it was too many stitches, so I pulled it out and tried again. This time I
ran out of yarn half through the bind off. I looked at what I had and I did not
like it anyway so it came out again and stayed out. I also made it smaller than
what the pattern called for. I made it to fit my head.
I liked knitting with the yarn; it held up well to the
ripping out I did and it was very soft. It has very nice stitch definition.
Hat 12 is the Northwoods Hat I designed for the MN Shop Hop.
I could not knit with the yarn we had for chosen for the hop, so I knit it out
of Smart. I found the yarn sort of splity, but I still think the hat turned
out. It would have been better in green so the lace would look like trees
(which was the look I was going for). Overall, I think it is a great design, if
I do say so myself.
Hat 11.25 – new invention. So when I was working on the
design for the Northwoods Hat, I wanted to see how the lace looked in the round.
I knit a little tiny hat to check it out. In order to block it, I had to find
something to stretch it upon. Through much searching, I found this.
After it was all blocked and dry I realized that I had
invented a new thing: a clown nose cosy!
I know, I am a genius! No doubt I will
become a millionaire with this great invention.
