I needed a hat fix! It had been 12 days since my last hit. Knit.Wear magazine was back on the street and I was stuck on Mitten Island. I did what any other knitter would have done in my situation. I frogged the mitten.

And I don’t regret it!
Just call me Captain Obvious because I love this hat!
It’s from the inaugural issue of the new Knit.Wear. It took a while but the folks over at Interweave finally figured out that Knit.Purl was a very poor replacement for Knit.Wear and so Knit.Wear has been reborn! Yay! I liked a few of the garments but this hat didn’t just call my name, it screamed MAKE ME NOW! I couldn’t resist. I had to knit this one. It’s the best!

Pattern: HAT by Erica Schlueter
Yarn: Tosh Chunky in Electric Rainbow

This hat is awesome! It looks a bit graffiti which is pretty cool.

Haha! I love this!! The mitten was cool but this is even more awesome. I really want to try duplicate stitch now.

I do a lot of duplicate stitch. I know a lot of knitters don’t like it. For me, it scratches the cross stitch itch! I did a lot of cross stitching in my younger days so I kind of love it!

I’ve never done cross stitch before so this would be all new for me. Does it take as long as I imagine it would?

Duplicate stitch in general doesn’t take long but for some reason this particular motif took a lot long than I expected.
