WIP Hat

[KnitSteve 0]

I'm currently working on several things, but the most important is a gift for my wife. I'm using the Kuzco Pattern from Issue 38, p14, but adapted to suit her tastes better I've created my own intarsia charts for it and so far it's looking good. In the mag, the earflaps have stripes but I've changed those to a reduced size intarsia pattern based on the main one that will be on the hat's main body. I've also changed the colours so that the main colour is a lilac blue, with pink and pale green as the other two colours. I'm using the pink for the 2 colour rib section and the background of the intarsia sections, with the pale green as lines and the detail in the intarsia sections.

 

I'll take a photo when it's done

I had to come up with something special, Victoria - it'll be Jenny's birthday in early February ;-)

 

I started learning in November last year Goose :-)

 

It's hard work - I've never had to work with so many stitches at once before LOL!

The more I read about you the more I admire you Steve. You obviously have a talent for both knitting and design. Keep up the good work

Thanks Suzy and Buzyknitting :red: I just have lots of time and no responsibilities ;-)

 

Had to take a break this afternoon - cramp in my fingers LOL! All that yarn handling in the intarsia ;-) Hopefully it'll be finished well ahead of time...
