CO 100 sts
hat 9 of 2011

6/27 - In the 2nd ruching section. For the next one I do, I’ll only inc every other stitch. The amount of sts on my needle right now is insane. The tiny needles are sharp & are making my fingertips hurt.

6/28 - Tonight at knit night, I realized I can’t read. I KFB into EVERY stitch for the first inc bit. D’oh. I have too many sts going on, but as I’m so far in, I’m not pulling it out.

Decided to do some decreases to shrink the sheer volume of slouch in this hat. I did k3 k2tog on the 7th row before the 3rd ruching section, k one row, then k2 k2tog on the 9th row. I’m also getting low on yarn, so this change should help. With the red 7 black one, I’ll knit it as written (minus 20 sts on CO so it fits my head).
