Adventures in Knitting
I enjoy knitting, but I'm not very good at it. I can only really make scarves and hats, so I just make a lot of them. This is my latest hat. I knit it in the round and alternated rows of knitting and purling to get the garter stitch. All you knitters out there will probably be able to see where I messed up, but I think it's still pretty cute so I decided not to worry about it. The button is a neat replica of a vintage button from the late 19th century.
As an unrelated side note, you can really see how big my nose is in this photo! I like to think of it as a Roman nose, but it's probably too bumpy for that. More of a Polish nose.

You're really having a ball trying out different art forms :-). I have ordered some books on braiding and basket weaving...to learn from them and apply to jewelry.
There is nothing wrong with either the knitting or the nose. Cute hat sweetie.
thanks mom ;)
