I got this out one day and I was knitting happily along on it. I put it down to get up for something. When I came back, I was looking at it and I thought "Something is not right here.." I had done a bunch of rows. UGGGHHHHH.... I was happy I was on the last wedge, almost done...
This is what it's supposed to look like. I couldn't wrap my brain around what went wrong.. 🙄So I just put it away for a few days.
I got it back out a couple days ago, and said "I'm just going to start ripping it back.." I undid all the stitches until I thought it was right. Then I realized what I did. Instead of knitting up until two stitches less than the rest of the row (36, 34, 32...); I had knitted all the way, and picked up the two green stitches on the end. As if I was finishing the second half of the wedge. Duhhh... Well now it's finished. I had started this with the infusion center in mind. To make some "team colors" hats for guys? But... I don't know. It's really stiff. I remember the first hat I made for my husband was kind of stiff. Then I just used one strand, instead of two held together. And, it looked too small. But, it softened up, and it stretched out as time went on. And it fits him perfect now. I don't know. Sigh......
Also, there's this. I pushed it all the way inside out and it has a pointy top. I don't like that. If it was for a girl, I could sew a pom-pom on the top to camouflage the pointy-ness. I don't like this team. So, now I don't know what to do with this hat. Maybe our son or my husband will want it, for work?... 🙍 I haven't sent a box to Pine Ridge in so long... I don't know what to do. I was thinking about doing another one, already though. In navy blue and off-white. For our middle son.
Okay, I googled Tychus Hat, Images... And I don't feel so bad. There's a lot of them that are pointy. 💁 And I saw one girl who had a pom-pom on hers.
Oh. And guess what I found this week? While I was trying to do something else (of course). The other bootie. (Now that I have two made-UGHHHH) I still haven't found that crochet hook, though. :P
