my first real hat, and knitting knowledge


Here is my first hat, knitted in the round and finished on double-pointed needles. Fellow Raveler lesleyluu came over today with her girls and showed me how to use the DPN's. Yay! The DPN's make sense now, thanks to Lesley, and I plan on making more! Lesley also brought me some beautiful cormo fiber that she had combed up, and some combed fiber that I gave her as raw wool. Thank you, Lesley, I owe you one!

What I have learned from knitting:
I hate Lion brand yarn. I hate acrylic yarn. I am a yarn snob.

I have learned that knitting in the round on circular needles or double-pointed needles (DPN's) is nowhere near as complex as I thought!

I want to knit smaller projects like hats and dishcloths.

I don't really like knitting scarves.

I have a short attention span. (Yes, you already knew that!)
