I've been working on this hat for over two months, at least. I don't remember when I started. Generally, my knitting comes in stages:
Stage 1 - Mid-September: Ah, fall. Maybe I should think about knitting again.
Stage 2 - Mid-October: Ah, crap! Christmas is coming - I have to make some scarves!
Stage 3 - Late October to December 31: knitknitknitknitknitknitknitknitknitknitknitknit...
Stage 4 - January: Ah, Christmas is over. Now I can knit something for myself...after my hands stop hurting.
Stage 5 - February to Mid-September: Ah...knitting? Yeah, I should be doing that...
Rinse and Repeat.
I haven't knit anything for myself since my second knitting project ever. I also have a tendency to lose things. So now I have one hat, one scarf, and two mittens, none of which match (including the mittens!)
This summer I got a half-finished scarf at a yard sale (apparently I'm not the only one who doesn't finish my projects) with lots of extra yarn, quickly completed the scarf, and decided to make a swank hat for myself. Here is the pattern I chose, from this book:
Nice, huh? But A PAIN to knit. It's taken me so long...but this is the week! IT WILL BE FINISHED! mwahahahahaha!
I'm excited! This will be fun thing to follow!
ReplyDeleteI really like the staging in your picture!
ReplyDeleteYeah, after I took the picture, I thought, "wow...I want my before picture to look messy and awful, so the after looks way better." But I didn't want to take another picture, so I left it. :)
