It fits! And apparently doesn't look handmade according to the lovely kids of Stitch N Bitch, which I take as a compliment on my somewhat sloppy seaming. Now that I've knit my first sweater, I feel as though the entire world of patterns is open to me!
That being said, my finished-project high led me to learn how to fair isle last night and power through a supposedly adult sized hat in less than 24 hours.
I made the Scrappy Gems Fair Isle Hat by Tina Edgar with yarn that really should not have gone together, hence little to no stitch definition of the purple bits. I'm pretty happy with it overall, but unfortunately it does not fit anyone I know. I think I'm going to embark on the 50 hats for charity knitting challenge thing, and if I do, this is hat number 1. Good things about this project? I now have faith in my ability to read charts and, oh yeah, fair isle. Triumphant 24 hours of knitting.
oh my gosh! you are creating such great things!
