Frogging, Part Two

It seems that the hat is cursed. By cursed, I mean that I had to Frog back a few rows again. I had gotten to the point where I was decreasing at the crown. It seemed all was well and I switched the stitches to 4 double-pointed needles when it got tight. Unfortunately, when you’re working with bulky-weight yarn, the yarn takes up more space than normal yarn.

Two stitches fell off one of the needles. This should be easy enough to fix, except that it wasn’t. So I grudgingly took the knitting off the needles and started to Frog back a few rows. I then attempted to put it back on the needles, but it doesn’t look quite right. I’ll take another look at the problem when my head is feeling clear. Winter is almost over, and Mr. BF doesn’t have his hat yet. This is depressing, so I went over to the Purple Purl and signed up for a sock knitting class. It starts in about 2 weeks, so that will give me some summer projects to work on.

In better news, my mom received her scarf on Sunday, and she loved it. Photo below.

My mom, in case you didn’t know, is the most wonderful mom ever. That is why making this scarf, despite my dislike of the yarn, was completely worth it when I saw the smile on her face as she put the scarf on.
