When I took this job at Knit Picks, I knew pretty instantly that
knitting was going to quickly become one of my new favorite hobbies.
Since completing my first hat a couple of weeks ago, I have already made
another one and started on a third. The first two were just my way of
testing my skills and trying out new stitches. Because they are a
little too big for my head, I have decided to donate them to charity in
hopes that they will keep someone else’s slightly larger head warm in
this winter weather. The one that I am working on now is the first one
that I am using a pattern on and I am really excited to see the end
result.
In case you didn’t see a picture of my first hat on our Facebook page, here’s what it looked like:
I unfortunately haven’t captured a good picture of my second hat yet but here is what it looked like in the process:
My third hat is a cloche pattern that I got from Ravelry. The pattern link is here: Cloche Hat
So far, I have just completed the brim section but I hope to get a good start on the body of it tonight.
My new-found love for knitting is starting to rub off on others in
the office and a couple of people have even stepped up and finished
projects that they were working on for quite some time now…
