First, sorry about the pictures. Apparently some ignorant person decided to steal pictures off either Flickr or Myspace and masquerade as me on some adult sex site. So I put all of my pictures on private. Then I realized that they couldn't be seen here or on Ravelry. Which defeats pretty much the WHOLE point of having Flickr. Doesn't it? I switched everything back but the blog didn't get the memo. I also had to go and update ALL of my pictures on Ravelry. Just click on any picture that's not showing up and you'll be linked to it on Flickr. Oh, and did I mention that we've got that stupid hurricane this weekend? We're in the process of getting ready to evacuate if the need arises. Whatever.
because my daughter has been home, maybe I'm just sick of what my current WIPs...whatever the reason I can't seem to commit to anything more than hats and silly toys. If you have been watching me on Ravelry you've seen what I've been up to. Yeah, I'm talking about the Peens. lol Also that felted bag I did with some of my own handspun. Which I was really proud of, even though I don't do felting or purses. hehe I even crocheted a snood this past weekend. Not that I have enough hair to actually use one. That and it turned out horribly.
going to write up the pattern, I said let me know, and promptly forgot about it all. Then I was looking in my Ravelry favorites, saw the hat and thought to myself, "Hm, I wonder if she ever got around to making that pattern". Sure enough, the pattern had JUST been posted. Pure (and perfect) coincidence. The yarn used was a DK weight and I also happened to have a random ball lying around for something else. Kismet I tell you. Can I take a moment to tell you how amazing the yarn that I used is? Bollicine Dolly, if you've never tried, buy a ball. Knit this hat, really I don't care what you make with it but you really should try it. Back to the pattern/hat. It's pretty straightforward, there aren't any errors I could see...although I'd knit it a bit longer before doing the decreases if I did it again. I think. Although, since it's supposed to be a tam and all it might turn out fine. Right now it's blocking. Doing the lace is kind of a pain in the ass (especially when you're trying to focus on your 2yo) it's worth it though. I'm completely in love with this hat and I'm thinking of maybe making another one as I plan on giving one to my husband's aunt for Christmas. Oh...for those of you reading this blog who might know who I'm talking about, don't spoil the surprise. ;)Labels: blah, finished object, hat, hemlock tam, life
