Lately I’ve been wanting to start lots of small projects like hats- I think it’s because I have a strong urge to stash-bust and gain back some closet space. Yesterday I tried a few times to start a Syncopation Adoration hat, but it ended badly. I couldn’t get the hang of the Brioche knitting and I ended up frogging it.
brioche and i are not on speaking terms.
Today I had better luck with a stripey stash-busting hat:
But at the end of the day I wanted something a little more interesting so I started a Magnolia hat.
It’s pretty fun, easy to memorize, and I think it will be a pretty hat. It also fills a wardrobe need, which is always nice.
I hope you had a good Saturday!
I’m trying to keep from knitting hats just to avoid the real knitting. So far I am doing well at it! But hats will always be my fun knitting.
I hear you! Knitting hats can be such a crutch. I need to do more long-term planning.
