tiny chunky hat

A wonderful pattern from a friend to knit with.

I actually made this many times (I have a pea head) before I got it small enough. It doesn't matter though, since it knits up in less than an hour:) Thanks Leslie!

I used:
Twinkle soft chunky
40 stitches
knit in the round
I also added another garter stitch ridge

I'm totally overwhelmed when I've been gone. How does your big brain fit in your pea head?

I still say that yarn has green tones in it. Definitely not purple.

It looks toasty. I like the ease of do-overs with chunky yarn.

bravely trying to catch my life again.

amisha says:

i get overwhelmed trying to catch up even when i haven't gone anywhere :)
girlfriend weekends are the best aren't they? and you look so good even when tired!
i was eyeing the soft chunky at the knitting shop today... did you like it? i was worried about it holding up over time but it still looks good after reknitting so maybe i shouldn't be concerned?

i totally find it overwhelming to come back to flickr. i try to catch up, but sometimes it's just not possible. and that's okay. glad to hear you had a fun weekend!

so much flickring going on! chunky yarn is the best, it fits you perfectly.

I don't think about it at all if I am away.... I think I'm not so good at Flickring. Lol....commitment issues?

Love the hat, perfectly cozy!

shim + sons says:

Love your chunky hat. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't fit either of my boys since they have big heads. ;)

Your weekend getaway sounds fun...and tiring. I went out the other night with a bunch of expat wives and I was pooped out when I got home at 11pm..so sad! ;)

I've been itching to knit up something in Twinkle Soft Chunky. It looks great!

Three Sneaky Bugs says:

Golly you're speedy. It looks great! I haven't even made it to the yarn store. Hoping to find something this week to match my scarf. Fingers crossed!

And I hate catching up. Sometimes I just have to say forget it and not look back.

Thick yarn like this is excellent for a quick project. It looks great!

don't worry about it, just start fresh. (oh, yeah, what rachel said). pea head. cute cute.

UNIFORM natural says:

I actually like catching up....I like seeing everyone's photos. It just takes awhile.....

and I LOVE how chunky yarn and big needles can fool everyone into thinking that I'm a fast knitter....:)

sarah -so glad there is no purple, but I still don't see green:)

Dawn -you are funny. YOU are the cool one. and....I'm starting to plan my seattle trip!

Amisha -I love the soft chunky! wish it wasn't so expensive.....
but this only takes a little more than 1/2 skein. you can make three hats w/ two skeins.

Now you all go knit one. and then thank Leslie for a brilliant pattern!

IT is completely daunting to catch up. I'm working on it. :)
And, this is a beautiful hat!

bugheart says:

so perfectly you.
i was also
eyeing the chunky
but it's so pricey...
maybe i'll try
it in leftover stash chunky.

i know what
you mean
by being
overwhelmed.
i just check out
sometimes.

Look What I Can Do says:

I beg to differ Queen of cool....just look at you...your clothing...your knits...your home....geez!!!!! Then you just come up with the best ideas...like the re-decor of your son's room and that painting project...not to mention I am absolutely sure your students love you....but thanks for the compliment Martha...means a lot coming from you :)
Let me know about when you will be in Seattle...I am so excited to finally meet you!!!!!!!

I have a pea-head, too! Hats slip down on me right away unless I buy child-size.

Mama Urchin says:

I do see some green too but I will admit I really like green so it's possible I try to see it in everything.
