Funky dory hat

The other month, my sister asked me to knit her a hat. nothing crazy about that, easy peasy!

Nope!

Sure it became natural to me once I was in the swing of the pattern but wow was it difficult to start! I used a sock needle, ie one of these lovely things...

...and casting on was simple enough but knitting the first row was a whole other experience! I know it's just a hat but the cast on stitches were... not so much as tight... you know, it's hard to explain unless you try it, then you will understand what I went through. They felt tight but they weren't, they were just difficult to work with for a reason I simply cannot explain. After the first knitted row, the rest of the pattern became a doddle and I'd quite happily knit another!

Small rant thing aside, here is the finished hat! The first pompom however my sister made was GIGANTIC! So here is the hat with the much smaller pompom attached, lovely!


Sorry the image quality isn't brilliant... but you get the idea!
