FO - odessa
when i got home tonight, my odessa looked like this...
as i got further into the decreasing, i was wondering if i'd have enough yarn.
i used EXACTLY one skein of knitpicks shine sport! well, almost. i had 42 inches left.
don't worry: my big head and hair aren't the final destination for this hat.
and...daytime pics! is that a cat leg i see?
oh, and a picture of the inevitable.
specs...
pattern: odessa by grumperina from the february 2006 issue of magknits
yarn: just a teensy bit < 1 skein of knitpicks shine sport in grass (from stash!)
needles: metal dpns in sizes 4 and 6
timeline: 07.18.2006 - 07.21.2006
comments: i LOVED making this hat! i made it to go with nadine's clapotis, and it's just lovely. it knit up really quickly and the pattern was simple, but interesting. woo hoo!
if i were to make myself one, i'd cast on the same number of stitches, but do an inch or two in pattern before doing the decreasing. having a big head and lots of hair means more knitting apparently.
speaking of the clap, i went to a craft store after work tonight and bought some cute pins to (finally) block it. my blocking board isn't quite big enough, so there will be two stages to this blocking. fun.
stage two and a chance to admire my pincushion and the pins i picked up.
