September 20 - Manmade

Woman-made, actually. Here's the gratuitous artsy-fartsy shot.
(I freakin' LOVE Instagram. I might have mentioned that before. Heh.)

Finally.

I'm finally ready for the campaign. I clipped the
last three stray yarn ends on the blue sweater when
I pulled it out of the dryer. (Cotton Fleece by Brown
Sheep – sooooo soft!) Look at me, I'm a Democrat!

I'm in love with this hat

The cap is blocking over a child's ball. I could have stretched
it over a bowl, but I didn't want the lower edge to stretch out.

I just wish I could remember what book it came out of. My copy of the pattern doesn't even have a page number on it.

To recap (heh, get it? Recap?): Eight triangular sections are knit separately and sewn together with the seam on the outside, for that grungy look. You then pick up stitches along three sections and knit a bill. Knit an identical separate bill piece and sew it to the attached one.

Yes, I'd rather knit than sew, and there's a lot of sewing to this little project. But I think it's worth the effort. There's no way you could get this look by knitting in the round.

Whaddya think?
