Both knitting AND a hat in one go! Genius.  Or so I thought.  I’m knitting it in a slightly less than tactile yarn and I think something has gone wrong in my reading of the pattern.  I really want to make it from the gorgeous yarn that the Really Wise One gave me for my birthday (nearly a year ago, but who is counting…) I’m tempted just to restart the project in the yarn that she gave me.  It would be satisfying to actually complete something.

I really want to do the cardigan in the picture but if I can’t finish a HAT how can I manage a cardigan.

Found another hat recipe while I was looking, might try that one although it still uses short rows and I’m still a bit confused about what they actually ARE.  See http://www.domiknitrix.com/knittingpatterns/cloche.cfm for the details…
