I still can't get Blogger to work as it used to in Safari, so I'm spending more time in Chrome. I still prefer Safari, but I don't have the time to figure out what's going on, and I want to read and comment on blogs! I'm still having problems commenting on some, but at least Chrome recognizes that I'm signed in!
I finished my hat yesterday morning. I'm pleased with the way it turned out.
My order of pom poms arrived in time for me to attach one before leaving for school. I changed my mind and switched to a gray one when I got home, but I forgot to take a picture before wrapping it. After taking the picture, I noticed that the folded up portion looked a little funky. All I needed to do was stretch the hat in both up and down and sideways, and it looked great. The color looks very different in this photo. The first one is the true color.
As I'm typing this post, my cursor keeps jumping to another spot. I type fairly quickly, so I get some really strange sentences that need to be fixed. Does anyone else have this happen to them? The only thing I can figure is that I must be hitting the touchpad with the bottom of my thumb as I type. Either that, or my computer is possessed!
I am working on another cowl in Caron X Pantone. The stitch sequence is the same as in the last cowl I knit, but I cast on one more stitch. The look will be completely different. I do have to pay attention as I knit, because it's easy to split the stitches with this yarn. I wish you could reach through the computer and feel how soft it is!
I'm off to a good start on another hat. I only have six rows left to crochet before seaming. Now that I understand how the pattern works, it's going much more quickly. I hope to finish this one this morning.
I'm really enjoying working on projects that inspire me in the moment, rather than trying to finish a gift for a specific person. My great-aunt used to have a closet of gifts ready for giving, something I've long thought of doing. I often want to give something hand-made, but find I don't have the time to finish what I have in mind. A gift closet seems like the perfect solution!
