It had Seven skull & cross bones going all the way around the hat it was perfect! However I hadn't knitted anything with a picture pattern in so long & the VW had was my first attempt in a LONG time. When I do this I always end up w/ all these loose ends & a & the picture or item seems to bump up. This even happened w/ the VW hat. So to my surprise this hat turned out perfect!! I now want to knit all hats w/ a picture or item that goes all the way around the hat! I kept on showing my DH the hat as I was knitting saying: "Look at it now... Oh & now!!!" LOL!! I used to look at patterns w/ details like this & think well maybe there is just a solid color one out there but now I am looking at them in a whole new light. The simplicity of it just amazed me!
My DS1 loved it & has been waring it nonstop. Thank goodness the weather is finally turning to be a little cooler I felt bad on the semi warm days we had where he was waling around w/ a beanie on.
This got me to thinking on how Knitting is basically like Cooking as long as you have a pattern or recipe you can be Debbie Bliss or Julia Child. So I am stepping out to knit something I said I would never knit.......sweaters! I have picked out patterns for DS1, DS2 & myself. I don't plan on making mine until closer to spring but I am setting a goal to have DS2's done for this winter. Along w/ all my other projects I am still working on for the craft fair that is now only 2 weeks & 4 days away, EEEKKK!!!
