From Susan — A Little Bit of Christmas Knitting

Filed under: Current Projects,Updates — lv2knit @ 1:31 am

Me — wait until the last minute?  Mais non!!  Ce n’est pas possible.  Au contraire!

I started the Tychus Hat because of two reasons: 1) someone showed it on their blog and it looked cute (cuter than on the Knitty.com site) and, 2) Laura (eldest daughter) promised to knit 2-color hats for a few of her male friends and I thought it would be a good idea to test drive the pattern.  I am making this for a nephew and if it turns out I may knit another.  I’m using 2 colors of Pastaza — purple and charcoal — on Size 9’s.  It is mindless knitting and very portable.

As you can see, I used a provisional cast on so I can graft the last row to the first — that way there won’t be a front or back.  I’ll be finished tomorrow and will have an update.  I’M HO-HO-HO-PING IT FITS!!

  1. Susan-sorry I missed last night. It just wasn’t meant to be. I am going to try this hat. It looks like fun. I’m planning my 2007 projects. I’ve never thought ahead about what big projects I’d like to do….just rambled along with no road map. This year I would like to continue learning new techniques and perfect some of the old (market bag. Have a happy holiday! See you next week?
