I started knitting again for real. I finally visited my new favorite yarn store http://www.unwindyarn.com/ I fell in love with the store and bought yarn for a new project before I arrived home and realized that I still have a hat and blanket that I have not touched in a month and a half. I got right to work and immediately began to relax. I always forget how knitting takes the stress away...
I realized a few weeks ago that my problem is that I do not rotate my hobbies frequently enough. I have always been the one who will put one hobby down in order to pick up another one. I have promised myself to be a bit better regarding that and it has worked out fairly well. So much so that I have picked up my knitting again and have made major progress on the blanket that I have been neglecting AND I will have that slouch hat completed by this evening.
The Slouch Hat...
That hat has to be the poster child for every mistake in the book. I lost count so many times while both increasing and decreasing that there is absolutely NO pattern to be found in the stitching. Not only that but, at one point, I also lost my stitch marker and did not realize it until I was halfway through that row. A Complete MESS!!!! The funny thing about it is that the hat is for my mother and she totally LOVES it. Every time I complain about a mistake and say that I am going to snatch it out she adamantly refuses, saying that she can not tell and that it looks great. "Umm...No Ma'am it does not but I will make sure that it is presentable before I give it to you." I will post pics soon...
