My friend Marly (from the YarnThing podcast) designed the cutest hat pattern that was published in the current Holiday issue of Knit Simple magazine. The minute I saw it, I knew I wanted to make it.I've been trying to get it on the needles for two weeks now. I finally wound my skein and decided to cast on at my SnB meetup on Tuesday. Well, I got down there and guess what? Forgot to bring my needles. I had swatched earlier in the day and they were still sitting by the recliner. D'oh! I contemplated working on something else, but I really wanted to make this hat, so I bought another set of circs (I needed size 8 DPNs anyway to finish it) and set off. Well, I'm wishing I had waited now. Even though I tried to cast on as loose as possible, I think the edge is still too tight. I really should've used a bigger needle to cast on. *sigh*
Then I did a complete goober move when I was home and wanted to show Marcus what I'd started. I put the two inches I completed at SnB on my head and proceeded to pull half of it off the needles. Yay! I love putting stuff back on the needles. (NOT!)
Well, we'll see shortly if I need to frog it and start again.
