Finished my hat today, except that I think I need to block it. As usual, I failed to follow the instructions properly and found that I had made twice as many stitches during the increase row. But if I hadn't, I don't see how it would have qualified as "slouchy" - it's pretty much a beanie as it is (this may or may not have to do with my ridiculously tight cast-on row).
Anyhow, it covers my ears and that's good enough for me.
Tim's in Berlin on a field trip for the next couple of days. And I am becoming beyond lazy - how does one stay motivated to get up in the morning when each day feels like the previous one? Today, despite having looked forward to it for a week, I couldn't even force myself out the door for a pilates class. I told myself it was because it was snowing (hardly).
The truth is, I'm feeling shades of brown and grey right now.
Oh Fi, you poor thing. Hope you don't stay feeling down for too long my friend. I am going to email you...
ReplyDeleteYour hat looks cool, it really suits you. I have never known how to block hats, let me know if you have any success.
I blocked the hat today. I just used my own head (!) to shape it while it was damp. I'm really pleased now, it's become a much more relaxed shape. More beret, less beanie, as intended.
ReplyDeleteHahah! Good idea! bet that was a bit uncomfortable for awhile though. If you can be bothered would love to see an after blocking photo.
