Refering back to the post with the three projects I was working on, this is the one that I finished. All three had issues. The shawl? Don't ask. All I can say is now I have too much Elesbeth Lavold Silky Wool for a scarf, but not enough for a sweater. The washcloth? Ripped back and put back on needle with the working yarn at the wrong end. This hat, well, I just kept going round and round, because I didn't know how to do the decreases for 2x2 rib. The Knitlist helped, I finished, and Aaron loved the hat. Now there's another problem and that is the 140 stitches around. I think I had Paul Bunyan in mind when I did
that math. Anyway, we've discussed strategies for controlled shrinkage and I'm hoping things work out. I mean, he wears it in the house. I knew he needed to cover that bald head of his, he just needed someone to give him something nice to use for the purpose.
