Some knits are so fast, you don't even get a WIP shot.
I've had this skein of deep beautiful blue Malabrigo sitting around for a while. I had planned a hat but I was in need of a quick knitting project after the epic Rogue knit. I cast on and--poof!--it was done!
I like it but I think I need one that is a little skinnier--I dont have big hair, so it looks a little funny. I think a more headbandish one would be better. I did modify the pattern a bit--I cast on only 96 instead of the 120 given in the pattern. I did short rows until it looked about right then did the second half. It was super duper easy schmeezy.
Over the Holiday, I finished all the hems and grafting on Rogue. It turned out....okay. It was my first attempt at grafting in a ribbing pattern and I did learn a lot. Somehow I ended a stitch off at the end so it looks a tad funny.
You know what? I dont care a bit. I did a little fudging and I think its fine. Yesterday I tried to install the zipper....it was just too much for my little sewing machine so I went out today to get some handsewing needles. I guess I'll be doing some handsewing tonight!
