I started it 2days ago.
Althogh there was strong enthsiasm as a beginner, it's so hard for me to figure out the likes of M1and SSK. They finally made me reknit the hat about 12 times before I found the illustrations of M1 and SSK with kind, clear explanations on the back of the book.
Anyway, I did it!! I think Ez's projects may be like some puzzles with the yarn to me. The moment I begin to knit the right shapings is way too exciting.
I wanted much of a pointy top so I started decreasings later than called for.
I wish I could try all the items in her book.
One more thing , before starting, I felt a little difficult about the numbers of GAUGE and just ignored it.And.... it's too small for me to put on. Don't I look like sort of Mr. Scrooged?
I realize I should check Gauge the next time I try..
I love this pattern. I made it a long time ago for my son and he wore it a lot.
ReplyDeleteYes, it will fit a baby! You'll just have to knit another for yourself now that you've had some practice.
ReplyDeletehaha!
ReplyDeletewhat is gauge !? (ijustingnoreittoo!)
No gauge? Charity knitting!
ReplyDeleteI just saw that you left a comment about the green sweater I posted! The pattern is from Ravelry.com; it is the Lady February Sweater and the pattern is free.
ReplyDeleteGreat job. Ganomies are my favorite.
ReplyDeleteDid this hat is a self striping sock wool for my hubby and he loves it! It's such a fun hat, and covers up ears so well. Now that I see yours in a plain colour I think I like it even better. I love that you can clearly see that great shaping.
