Brown (Rnds 66-): a cotton 4 ply. Unraveled from thrift store sweater, mens’ size xl, stockinette.

Photos After the First One

1: Requisite “it’s hat size, here it is on my head” photo…my eyes were tired and twitchy that day.

2: To all the ones out there who rip back for a few missed stitches…you can fix it. Gradually, over a number of rounds. In the “solution” round, the pattern called for 2 stitches in each space there, but given I’d have 4 extra stitches (as a result of two rounds’ ago mistake), just alternate evenly and symmetrically, making fewer stitches than what’s called for. I made a couple single stitches at the other end of this segment too so it would be symmetrical still. Same concept for increasing in case of missed increases.

3: Nothing like looking into a bag full of yarn and projects and getting that full feeling.

4: Round 38?

5: Rnd 44? And my Zephyr. And my feet. Wearing socks I knitted.

6: & 7: More oopsie-fixes…
