D needed to pick up some new gloves over the weekend and as I was browsing thru the store this gorgeous hot pink hat caught my eye...
Folded brim.
Fat cables.
Biggest Pom Pom ever on top.
Did I mention the hot pink? Because this photo doesn't do it justice, it's electric!
As I studied the hat I thought 'I can knit this'
So I started thinking I'll take a bunch of photos and then go from there.
Well nothing stands out more than some crazy lady snapping pictures of a hot pink hat.
It was on sale so I sweet talked D into buying it for me. Much easier for comparison knitting...
The original hat is 100% acrylic with a wicked seam up the back. Plus it was originally priced at $26.50
I'm using 100% wool and doing it in the round. Seamless and clean looking.
I'm actually almost to the third twist, then I get to figure out decreases.
Then I get to do it all again and write down more specifically what I'm doing this time... :)
On a side note, I've been silent lately because I'm trying work something out in my personal life and my personality is warring with my common sense... It's always hard to make a decision that means the ending of something but when that something is no longer a positive point in your life you have to step away for a bit and let it breath.
It's never easy though, and its making for some very uncomfortable moments in my world.
Don't worry, it has nothing to D. He & I will be together forever... ❤
