FO Alert!

I finished something. Since I last blogged, I started AND finished something. That includes all the knitting, seaming (virtually none), and the weaving in of ends. I am very happy with it too. It’s not one of those “I need something quick, I guess this will do” knits, it was an “I want to knit this, WOW it knit up fast” knit. I like those knits.

Today I bring you Quincy from Made in Brooklyn. An ingenious twist with garter stitch, built in i-cords, on 7mm needles, in bulky yarn meant poof! I have a hat. It’s nice and loose which hopefully means my hair will stay somewhat intact underneath it.

Quincy-2

The top is sort of unusual looking, reminding me of those old football helmets made of leather. But that’s okay. I still love it.

I’m resisting the urge to put a huge pom pom on the top. Seriously resisting very much the urge.

-Cheers folks!
