I knitted it in JoJoland 100% Wool on size 6 needles instead of the suggested size 4. This yarn is soft and easy on the hands while knitting. The blocking process went nice and the end result is what you see.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4611445485387308787-7795999937560387011?l=familiarjoys.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>gsshortyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04417697576341930417noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4611445485387308787.post-34906332474699488282008-03-29T12:59:00.000-07:002008-04-07T09:01:25.477-07:00<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YoJlnWdzXQo/R-6gZbbBL7I/AAAAAAAAAB4/xi2qm0TdDZo/s1600-h/swallowtail_shawl.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5183256579868274610" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YoJlnWdzXQo/R-6gZbbBL7I/AAAAAAAAAB4/xi2qm0TdDZo/s320/swallowtail_shawl.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4611445485387308787-3490633247469948828?l=familiarjoys.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>gsshortyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04417697576341930417noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4611445485387308787.post-74170100344082348682007-10-16T17:38:00.000-07:002007-10-16T17:49:51.891-07:00<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YoJlnWdzXQo/RxVa02fpW0I/AAAAAAAAABk/MfPf_v9opvs/s1600-h/orange_hat.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5122100015231753026" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YoJlnWdzXQo/RxVa02fpW0I/AAAAAAAAABk/MfPf_v9opvs/s320/orange_hat.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Well, I am going to finally try and post something. It's been busy here and it doesn't look like it'll be slowing down anytime soon. Anyway, for starters this will be short until I get the hang of this. I have been knitting as much as I can and as often as I can, so that means for me that I have more than enough UFOs laying around. I need to pick up around the house, but for now I much rather knit. This is my latest finished project, Jared Flood's Koolhaas hat. I love this hat, it fits like a skull cap on my head. The yarn is called Absolute Wool by YarnArt on 4 and 5 needles, instead of 6 and 8 the pattern called for...but at least I got close to the gauge. Anyway, it is a nice little hat. I'll try and post some more stuff soon.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4611445485387308787-7417010034408234868?l=familiarjoys.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>gsshortyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04417697576341930417noreply@blogger.com0
