So You Think You Can Hat (#38)


Pattern: So You Think You Can Hat (Rav link) by Insaknitty
Yarn: Storm Moon Knits Celestial Worsted (100% merino), undyed, 1 skein
Needles: US #5 (3.75mm) and US #7 (4.5mm) circs
Blocking: none
Modifications: none

I actually finished this on Friday but didn't get around to posting until today.


This was a very easy hat to knit--the pattern is easy to memorize and it goes pretty quickly. I was afraid it wasn't going to be big enough (it looks tiny when you're knitting it) but it has a lot of stretch.

Part way through working on this I got a lovely pink Crystal Light stain on it (the only white thing I ever knit and I stain it), so I had to rip back and reknit two pattern repeats.

Damn that's a bright Clapotis! (#39)


Pattern: Clapotis by Kate Gilbert
Yarn: Storm Moon Knits Celestial Worsted (100% merino), "That girl is poison," 3 skeins
Needles: US #8 (5mm)
Finished size: 18" x 74"
Blocking: wet blocked
Modifications: I did a few extra straight sections. I also purled the stitches to be dropped and purled through the back loop on all purl rows--it makes the edges more consistent.


I loooove this thing. It's gigantic. I finished it at 3am because I didn't want to go to sleep until it was done--of course then I had to block it so I didn't get to bed until close to 4am.
