Is it a cake? Is it a tea cosy? It’s…
My bobbled tam blocking on a bowl! I am no longer calling it “Not Raspberry Beret.” I now dub it “Bobbledy-Book Tam” like gobbledy-gook. Here’s why:
1. It was a pain to knit. All those bobbles. All those purling multiple stitches together.
2. The top decreasing was a hot mess. I fudged my way through.
3. Why would anyone knit a hat flat and seam it? Unless, of course, you only have straight, inflexible knitting needles, then it is understandable of course. Maybe that was the point.
4. It is a horrible fit. Before blocking it fit like a yamaka. After blocking it flops on my head like a sack. Could be my choice of yarn, though.
Just keeping it real here.
I am glad it blocked so large. It gives me hope that I might pull out the ribbing and reknit it, decreasing so it will fit my head more snugly.
Other good news: I have enough yarn left over to knit a plain beanie. I really do love this yarn.
And, I’m glad to knock out a project.
Did you finish anything knitting related this week?
Are you excited about the new yarn emoji? I am. I tried to use it on my last blog post, but it doesn’t show up on WordPress. Oh well.
I had so much extra roving from my felted piece I arm knitted a blanket. It’s pretty, but it’s the heaviest blanket in the world. I cast on too tight. I would pull it out and redo it but I probably wouldn’t have enough to complete the row. It’s just like knitting with needles but on your arms, and you have to be able to knit forward and backward since you can’t turn the knitting.
