I finished the Center Square hat. It might have been too ambitious for a third project? But, I'm happy how it turned out. You can tell that I got better on my tension as I worked my way up the hat. What I had the most trouble with was using the double pointed needles to work the top. In fact, I think I really goofed on the top, but that's ok. I never used double pointed needles until this project. This actually was a great learning project for me. It was a quick hat too. A more advanced knitter could finish this in an evening probably!Sorry for my pictures. They aren't the best in the world.
Oh wow, that looks GREAT! I have no idea how you did that as I STILL don't know how to purl...
ReplyDeleteI think I am stuck in scarf land forever. Anyway, very cool!!!

Ok, now you have me hooked on the nitty site. Guess what, I am going to have a go at this hat. How long did it take you??
ReplyDelete"KNITTY," that it! ;) Ok, no more posts--sorry!!!
ReplyDeleteLooks very nice--I would never have guessed that this was only your third project!
ReplyDeleteOMG!!!!! That knitting help site is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea there was anything like that out there and I am sitting here with my needles learning all kinds of stuff (like how to "really" cast on). Thanks so much Wendy!

Dang girl, that thing is incredible! I can't believe you did that on your third try!
ReplyDeletecongrats on being brave enough to try fair isle/stranded knitting on your third project! it came out awesome!
ReplyDeleteOh my, you are a natural!! That hat is great-it's so hard to believe you just started knitting. Keep it up, I see so much potential here.

It looks fantastic! DPN's are a little like wrestling with an octopus, but practice makes perfect- you did a great job!
