My buge

[ub-sessed]

I might need a little encouragement to fix the hat I'm knitting for my daughter.

I don't actually think it's fixable. Or rather, I think it would be significantly faster to just frog the whole thing and just knit it again. But it's such a small mistake that it doesn't seem worth all that effort. But it's in a very prominent spot.

Long story short, I got into a weird compulsive zone (?) in the middle of the night last week and spent three hours pulling all of the "slack" out of my floats. I pulled it all out right through the cast on and everything. Ended up with a tail almost three feet long. (Looking at it makes me feel like I have a brain tumour. Why would I do this??)

Anyway, the point is that now when my daughter puts the hat on, the start of round (which is right at the front of the hat) looks like shit, because it turns out that Patty Lyons' method for avoiding the jog at the start of the round is especially finicky about tension (it creates a super convoluted path for the yarn. I imagine it works better if you're not using super bulky yarn).

If I reknit it, I won't do anything to avoid the jog (I've tried two different techniques now, and neither of them look good with this super bulky yarn), I'll just put it at the back of the hat where it will be mostly hidden by the tip of the hat hanging down. It will look way better, and won't take very long because, like I said, super bulky yarn.

It feels like a bit of an overreaction, but it might be worth it to be able to feel like my daughter is walking around in a hat I'm actually proud of.

Today’s stream project! This one is like 90% done. It is part of a bigger project that is a semi-commission, but also something I’ll be able to share and sell copies of later on so I’m really excited about it!
