Excuses, excuses I know.
I did have a moment over the Summer where I put the large projects down and just worked on small stuff. It was just tooooo (yes that many o's) freakin hot here to be under large quantities of wool. We get triple digits here. Nothing like walking outside and having 110 degrees hit you in the face.
The fox hat that I kept in my purse just got finished last night. It was an easy knit. Just my favorite quick hat pattern, the Double Thick Cuff from verypink.com. When it came to the crown decreases, I skipped those and knit 14 more rows. I then found the 1/4 mark and 3/4 mark and knit three together to do a little bit of shaping. every other row. I did that for 4 more rows and then flipped it inside out and did a three needle bind off. Then I worked up two triangles starting with 15 stitches cast on, working in Stockinette, on knit rows knit 2 together, the first stitches and the last two stitches. Then I stitches those on the front of the corners of the hat. I stitched them through both layers so they gave more of a fox ear shape. If any of that made any sense. Now you see why I don't write patterns.
It's my new favorite thing. Now I want to make all of the hats, and I might have already promised my daughter a wolf hat for her and her wolf loving, role playing best friend.
