Finished from bed today, the Slouch Potato Hat !
I like it arranged like this best.
It is KnitPicks Capretta fingering weight yarn in Pesto.
I used number 4 and 6 needles.
It used most of the skein in the small adult size.
I tried to cast on and knit a Brioche ribbed watch cap from Paton's Classic Wool
and hated it every stitch of the way!
I ripped it out and cast on again.
This time in a K2, P2 rib sans Brioche and it moved right along.
Just what the day needed!
I had to pay the Fiddler today. When you go and go and you know that the little voice that says, "Slow down would be better!" but you ignore it until you crash....yup, I'm there.
So today was spent in bed, reading, knitting and generally letting the world go by without joining in.
The best/worst part-I'm glad I didn't!
Oooohhhh......I am in love with that hat! I hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteoh no, I do hope that you feel better again soon! no wonder, with the output you're showing here - anybody would be exhausted! maybe a little "me" time and resting would be a good thing...
ReplyDeleteSounds like the best way to make "lemon-ade" on a lemony day.
ReplyDeleteThe hats are great.
Take care of yourself and let your body tell you just what IT wants to do.
Yes, slowing down is hard to do. Feel better
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon. Your hat is so cute and I love the shade of green.
ReplyDeleteA wise woman once told me, "Down is good!" Enjoy your down time! <3 (ps -- autocorrect made this say "a wiDe woman" -- good thing I proofed it before I posted it! Lol!!)
ReplyDeleteLove the hat! Hope you're feeling better very soon. A day in bed, resting and knitting is good medicine!
ReplyDeleteSometimes ripping is the best thing to do, why be tortured by a project when they're supposed to be fun. I'm glad you frogged your project and are now happily knitting in rib! t's going to be a nice hat when it's finished!

ReplyDeleteI love the hat and the color. The second styling is super cute and I can see why it's your favorite. I am glad you got the second project knitting what it's supposed to be :)
