I think I am starting to like making hats. I finished this one last weekend. This one was a cute pattern that once I saw it, it spelled "MOM'S HAT" all over it. This is my second hat for her. I haven't shown her this one yet, but I am hopeful that she will like it. The pattern was really simple and quick to knit. (BTW: I do most of my knitting between 10:30pm - 12mid. It is the only time I have after my 4yr old son has gone to sleep). The pattern called for a cotton yarn and while, I haven't used cotton just yet, I felt like using Bernat - Satin Yarn again, but this time in Lavender. This yarn is great for making some patterns stand out and in this case I think it definitely looks great. I used the Beauford Knit Pattern found here http://ahknits.typepad.com/knititude/files/beaufort_hat_pattern.pdf. Check it out and you'll fall in love with it as well. I plan on doing a scarf with the same pattern but right now I don't feel confident enough to do it just yet! Maybe in a couple more months and a lot more projects finished then maybe I will get courageous and write one. Once again I am feel great accomplishing another project. I makes me feel good that I can finish them. Keep in mind, I have very limited time but the time I do have I try to make it my knitting time.
I have three other hats that I am working on that I will write about soon. These are using DK, sport and fingering yarn. Two of the patterns have charts and this once again was new to me. I had to learn how to read patterns. Once you get the hang of it, it is actually quiet easy. They just take a little long because they are using thinner yarn. I will be posting pictures of my progress in the next couple of days. :-:
