Chunky Fever


This morning I have fallen in love with chunky knits. I made a beautiful little warm hat in the time it took me to watch a cheesy romantic comedy. Speed is a beautiful thing. The pattern is from Twinkle's Big City Knits by Wenlan Chia.

Being the procrastinator that I am I decided to put off making decisions about my sweater. But, just because I don't want to make decisions doesn't mean that I don't want to knit. I wanted a fast and satisfying project (and a hat) so I decided to go forward with knitting up this pattern, which I had gotten the materials for many moons ago. I didn't have the right sized needles (a ridiculously large #19)so I had to make some minor adjustments but I think it worked out. Pretty rewarding for a couple of hours work.

Love your hat. You are so creative. I know how you sometimes need to just knit. Right now I'm trying to finish things. It's so much more fun to start them.

You know this is my favorite. You have to teach me this one. I want it in green. Thanks for the burgers, beer and friendship last night. If you need an extra car you know I'm here.
