my crazy hat for ravi and jessica’s crazy hat party was completed..2 days late. at first i was stressed that i couldn’t finish it in time but then i asked myself why am i stressing over a gathering with some good friends and cheerfully wore my wip. it was a great night! be sure to check out judy’s blog for a nice detailed rendition of food, hats, and rock band. i feel like i’m cheating not writing my account but she wrote so much that i think mostly everything was covered. plus, she has pictures of kelvin’s awesome last minute crazy hat creation. did i mention awesomeness?
anyway, i guess another reason i was stressed about not finishing my hat in time was that i actually didn’t enjoy knitting this one..and i feared that if i didn’t finish it for the party i would never have a reason to finish it and it would lie incomplete and wasting away. the only reason i can think of that made this project so dreadful to me was i wasn’t feeling for single-colored acrylic yarn when i had piles of noro waiting to be made into something. nonetheless, it has been completed! thanks to judy telling me she wants to see the final product and norm reminding me that of judy’s request. tada!
pattern: hallowig from knitty
yarn: red heart in purple
needles: size 8
started/completed: nov 29 / dec 3
right now im working on a noro striped scarf. i love 1×1 rib cause it produces non-curling stockinette! enjoy the pretty colors..
