I
finally finished the
Chunky Newsboy Cap I started a while a go. I had problems with the gauge, and I have a small head, so significant modifications had to be made. Plus, as usual, I also used different
yarn than called for, so I guess I'm a glutton for punishment!
I finally fixed it by using smaller hooks, and then I added some embellishment: a crochet flower and one of my favorite brooches (
click here for closeup) that I don't wear much. I think it turned out pretty cute after all the trouble it caused me!
Next, I practiced my knitting, using a
pattern from Jill over at
Wool's Happenin'. Not sure my counting on my rows was exactly accurate, but no major mistakes, and I made my first "pattern." Tonight I start a baby hat class at
Magpie's Cottage. We will be working on circular needles and also double points, so I think I have my work cut out for me!
And lastly, my husband gave me the best gift for Valentine's Day! Now maybe I'll finally finish
The Pillars of the Earth
that I started over a year ago, but it was such a heavy book I never wanted to take it with me! It was so heavy I couldn't even hold it up to read in bed! Problem is solved with my new
Kindle.
Now what can I get myself into next?
Stay tuned.
