My quickie luxury hat was done a few days ago, so of course I have no picture as of yet. What was truely amazing is that it really only took one ball… well, one ball and a few yards off the second. Doesn’t that just piss you off? You have only like 7 rounds left, every other row reducing stitches, and you have to join a new ball. I guess I shouldn’t complain too much… it was quite fun to knit. I felt as though I was flying by the seat of my pants, yet it fits. And it doesn’t make my forehead itch, so I can wear it for longer periods of time.

Since I pretty much had the whole of the second ball left over I cast on Branching Out. This of course means I’ll most likely need to get at least one more ball… maybe two. Cause I may need to knit myself a matching pair of fingerless gloves as well. Yeah, I may go for the entire matching set because this is a rather nice yarn… but the real reason is I’m currently freezing my butt off in my cube. We’re talking fingernails turning purple here people. All I can think about it how nice another scarf (I’m wearing one right now) would be along with something to make my fingers less purple.
