Read the manual first
My ongoing transformation into a Domestic Goddess hasn't, unfortunately, made any appreciable difference to my knitting skills. I haven't done any knitting for ages and ages and Jacob's blue jacket is not progressing at all as I seem to have totally lost interest in it.
In order to re-ignite the flame I decided to try a few smaller more 'fun' projects. Frankly, I don't seem cut out for the serious stuff! I finally this week got around to buying some double-pointed needles and a circular needle so I could try my hand at the Umbilical Chord Hat from Stitch 'n Bitch Handbook. (Inspired by the thought of Analu...) Its the first time I've used the four needles to decrease and it turned out just a little bit 'rough'. Plus I forgot to read the instructions for the I-chord. So its not a huge success but now I can undo it and try again having re-found my enthusiasm.
And after that its the Kittyville L'il Devil Baby Hat for Jacob, I've already bought the red wool!
