Gooseberry Hat

I have lots of progress on my colorful baby knit, maybe in by Thursday if I get enough after work knitting/sewing ends time in. (I started writting this post on Monday, if that gives you an idea of how much after work time I have for the extra things in life.) In the meantime, here is another baby knit to fill in the time.

I made this a couple of weekends ago. It is the Gooseberry Hat. Of course, I didn't make a gauge first, so it's much bigger than the newborn size I was looking for. At least when you are knitting for an unborn baby, you know that they can still grow into it.

Pattern: Gooseberry Hat
Source: Suvi S. Free Pattern
Yarn: Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino in a dark purple color

A very cute pattern. I actually made a mistake in the ribbing. There was a dreaded YO when switching from purl to knit. Fortunately it was near the bottom of the hat at the end of the round. I was able to close up the hole when tying in the ends. Then I just fudged the decreases at the top to match the stitch count. It's so nice when you reach the point in your life/knitting when you don't care about your mistakes anymore. You'll fudge it somewhere or another. As long as it's not anything obvious, know one will know. Well, you will know. I just told you about it.

It's Thursday now and I know there was more that I was going to write about the Gooseberry Hat. But I don't remember what it was. There had to be more though, otherwise I would of just published on Monday. Right?

I'll just end on that note. And publish.....
