Altered coronet
Tue Feb 14, 12:10 AM
So I finally finished an actualy Knitty pattern. After drooling over the patterns when I couldnt knit, then deciding they were all to hard when I learned to knit, I finished Coronet last night. But its not a total Knitty pattern. I didnt read the whole pattern first and didnt realize that the brim is supposed to flip up. So when I got to the p1 round I thought "What the hell?", then frogged it and finished it like I thought it should be. So its a Coronet but without a flipped brim. Its made of the same wool as the red mitts are and the cabled headband is really warm. It held up to the 25km/hr winds last night. heh in that picture you can see my crap CD player and an origami star thing I made. Cool!
Now I am making a pair of socks. So far they are driving me nuts. Almost every pattern I have knit has been on at least 4.5mm needles and with at least worsted weight yarn. Well these socks are on 3.25mm needles with I think sport weight yarn. Ugh. I knit for 3 hours tonight and all I have to show for it is 4 1/2 inches. This is going to drive me nuts. But the yarn is doing fun stripey things. I didnt realize it was doing the swirly thing until I took the picture. We will see if the patterning holds out over the sock. We will also see if doing them one at a time will drive me to drink.
Also? This photo needs to have like a magnet run over it or something. If it were a real live photograph I would say it needed to be burned. I recognize that I was completely drunk at the time, but holy crap! What an unflattering picture!
