Yay I added Haloscan Comments!

*Haloscan commenting and trackback have been added to this blog.

I was so excited when I saw the above words. I just knew that these blogger-run comments weren't cutting it because I know some people without the blogger accounts are reluctant to sign up just to comment. I have had a problem with evil comment trolls in the past (ie earlier this summer) and I think this will be ideal. Even though its seemed to wipe all my past comments out. I'm working on that though.

Noro Hat

I'm also working on this hat in Noro Kureyon. I started a really simple, easy hat thinking that finally I'd be able to get something done from start to finish. Well, it just wasn't that easy. I was one stitch short when beginning the crown decreases and I tried to M1 (make one increase) to make up for it, unfortunately I did the wrong kind of increase that left a lovely little hole and instead of just dealing with it, I freaked, tried to unravel and re-knit, didn't like the way that the stitches in the row which I put back on the needles when I frogged was a little saggy and baggy and I ended up just ripping the whole thing out. On the bright side I discovered that I can make a nice little yarn ball all on my own. It was very fun.

So after ripping out a nice easy hat I jumped right back in and re-cast on and here I am. I am feeling into it so I am going to try to finish it tonight though I do need to go to the gym so we'll see how that goes.

Hey, thanks for the tip. I had no idea non-blogger people had to join to post.

Very pretty hat! Isn't it weird that the same things kick our butts sometime!

what do you think of the yarn? I was trying to get my LYS to order it and she insisted that it's so super itchy. hmmm.

I just finished up a hat for my hub that is about half and inch too short. I give up, he will just have to deal.
