old project......new deadline

i have been knitting a hat for the hubs

i started it december 1st with every intention of stuffing it in his stocking

deadline missed   : (

rather than a hat, he was gifted a IOU.. awwww poor hubs

my first mistake...

 choosing a pattern that begins with

cast on 180 stitches using a size 0 needle

my second mistake...

using a fingerling yarn in a very dark brown given i have oldish eyes

AND

trying to shop, bake, wrap & well you know all the christmas goodness

you try to cram into a period of a few weeks!

but...

i do love the pattern & the quince yarn....pure heaven!

and i am fond of the hubs

pattern....eliots ass kicking hat

yarn....quince finch in bark

needle... size 0

motivation....andi's january kal/cal

we would love for you to join us!
