I went through a bit of a transition the past several months. I lost my job back in February, and I went through a bit of a slump, so being motivated to do anything but look after S was a bit difficult for me. But after some time off, and a much-needed vacation out west (it's amazing what looking mountains for a couple of weeks can do to brighten your mood).
Even though I haven't touched this blog, it doesn't mean I haven't been knitting :) So I have a lot of catching up to do :)
So since it is getting colder, I am looking at knitting S a hat. I've decided on the Double Rib Toddler Hat pattern I found on Ravelry. I like the fact that it has ear flaps, so it will keep S' ears warm. I bought a skein of Cascade 220 in a pink/purple colour from my local yarn shop. Funny thing is, right after I bought that yarn I went to the grocery store, where I found a nice hat/mitten set and bought it for S :) 2 winter hats is not excessive, right?
I'm knitting it with the mock cable. This is what I've done so far (just started today):
I'm a little worried I can do the decreases at the top of the hat properly, as the pattern gets a bit confusing with the mock cable. I just hope I figure it out as I'm knitting it :)
