still. sunny.
thanks for all of the kind comments on my living room! i have so much more i want to do with it, but as flights and such need to be purchased for the big trip, i have to hold off on spending too much. i have no idea how much it will cost to go to london and paris, but i know it will be a lot considering how much i love to shop!
i finally settled on a new sock to knit last night. i am using the cable and rib pattern from the fall 2005 issue of interweave. the yarn is the mountain colors my mom bought me while in california. i am 4 rows in.
while i was debating which sock to do, i finished up the hermione hat.
i was so disappointed because it doesn't fit the way i wanted it to. darn. i love the lorna's worsted i used. so now i am debating whether i should frog it and making something else. i'll try it on a couple times more to be sure.
after work today, my friend denise and i are headed down to the seattle knitting expo. we are only going to see what yarn they have up for sale. i'll let you know if i buy anything.
happy friday!
**update**after taking the hat off of the wireform (it was on it overnight), the shape is much better and may just be ok!

Too bad about the Hermione hat; at least it looks nice!
And what do you mean, "if" you buy anything? We wanna see some good stash coming back from that knitting expo! ; )

Cute hat!! I'm sorry to hear that it doesn't fit. Is that a hat blocker that you have there?
I'm sorry the hat doesn't fit right--because it's absolutely awesome! Mayeb the yarn just doesn't know exactly what it wants to be yet.
Could you block the hat into submission?
i too have made the hat and found it to be quite the pattern that needed to be odified. the brim is way way to long and the hat went on for eons. i shortenend it up quite a bit and added some lenght to the circumference, after knitting, unknitting, and re-knitting a billion and once times. nice color tho!
I hope it works out, that color is amazing! but if not at least you know the yarn will have another life!
Beautiful hat, I love the color. I can't wait to hear all about the seattle knitting expo.
The hat is gorgeous! I'm glad to hear you changed your mind about it.
