Hey! Adore your Rincewind costume! Have you made your pattern for his hat available on Ravelry? I have a friend who was lamenting not having a pointed hat pattern like, a month ago, so I would love to be able to point xem at yours! Have a lovely day!

Thank you!!

I will say I did not make a pattern as such, I just kind of vibed it out. I went looking to see if I'd written any notes about the construction and if i did... I can't find them alas.

However I can give your friend the basic vibes of what I remember with the disclaimer that this is very slapdash:

I started at the tip and cast on...probably 3 or 4 stitches, and then I increased 3 stitches every... probably 3 rows? down the hat until I got the appropriate width for around my head. Then I switched to increasing 8 stitches every row for the brim.

I basically went on the brim til I ran out of yarn, and then I threaded some floral wire though the edge so I could do some shaping if I wanted. It looks like i did an i-cord bind off too (which looks really slick! I've used it on a few projects).

The words were duplicate stitched in afterwards.

I will also say I remember starting over a couple times, so if the shape of the pointy bit is not coming out quite right it might be worth it to change the number of increases or spacing between them. Also my hat is very floppy and I think a tighter gauge would probably help it have a bit more structure if you want that!

HTH!

A lot of it happens offscreen, I would say

thank you for voting

I absolutely had to! I didn’t get to do so until later because of work, but it’s my first time being able to vote in a presidential election. This election is very important and I sure as hell am gonna make sure I give my input on who I want running this country that I’ve gotta live in.

Thank you for supporting voters!!! :)

Reasons I love astoldbyidiots

I send her a long thought splurge about why you would become a teenage hitman. She eventually replies ‘have you ever made dumplings’. And yet the conversation still makes sense.

Announcement

So I am going to say this before I lose the nerve, and will probably delete this post later, but today I was officially diagnosed.

I have a case of the Abed. I have Aspergers. And in the words of one of my dearest dearest friends, it’s cool, cool cool cool.
