Knitting and knitting and knitting...

I haven’t blogged for awhile because I have been knitting and unraveling the same hat (Mega hat) for a week and a half. I am in the process of knitting it for a third time. But this is the last time I’ll be making this Brangelina hat... I’ve finally figured it out and will be moving on. Oh — in the past week I also knit the hat in red, but cast on 50 versus 64 stitches, figuring it would have to fit someone in my family. And then something strange and fantastical happened – cue the creepy music – it fits everyone. So I gave it to my youngest, almost modeling it in the photo above.

One thing I learned this week for those interested: Jo-Ann Fabric stores do not carry a Clover bamboo double pointed needle bigger than 10.5. Like the Alamo having no basement, it is just one of those things they don’t teach you about in school.
