The third (I think) Marsan Watchcap I've knitted, and just as satisfying as the first.
Blue Moon Fiber Arts Socks That Rock Mediumweight - Midsummer Night
+ size 2 DPNs
+ the adult pattern (89 st cast on)
-------------------------------------------------
one very cozy and stretchy baby cap.
Leafy Baby Hat, using Lion Brand Baby Soft, which feels very un-soft now that I've gotten used to merino wool!
This was somewhat less satisfying -- the brim absolutely refuses to stay folded where it's supposed to. I blame the reverse stockinette section (is this an appropriate place to lay blame?) ...it's extremely rolly. The leaf edging is pretty cute, though.
These hats were knit for coworker's babies, Owen and Ava, this summer. Odd fact about the leafy hat is that I cast on for it in St. Louis, and finished it in Seattle a few hours before I arrived in Anchorage. (Not odd at all that there were a couple of months in Massachusetts in between the cast-on and bind-off.) So this hat saw the East Coast, the Midwest, California, the Pacific Northwest, and various bits of Alaska (from inside my suitcase anyway), before it ever saw a baby.
And now, there are pies to be baked and that sort of thing. Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!
Welcome back - you've been away from the blogosphere much too long!
