Post your progress pics!

I have finally finished Martha's hat. It nearly killed me as I messed it up a few times and end up frogging it twice and knitting & unknitting the same rows about 6 times. How I managed to keep calm enough to NOT throw it on the fire.......


ends not weaved in...


all finished!

Wow, that hat is gorgeous

I just dyed some yarn and need to decide what to knit. Either arm warmers for myself or longies for my friends new baby.

Wow! That hat was definitelt worth the grief - it's gorgeous!

And I love the colours on that yarn

oh michelle that hat is adorable! next up on my needles i think will be a baby gift. i feel the need to make baby longies again. scrappies possibly. and uli, that wool is soooooooo yummy!

Love the hat, is it from the woolly wormhead hat book?just had to buy it a minute ago after seeing your hat!

It is! I have done two hats from that book now. They're fab!

Thanks ladies. Now I just have to hope little monster will wear it!

Has anyone ever made anything like this before? http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/hat---hoodie

I'm struggling with the size.
I'm making it for my 5 month old using DK yarn and a size 3.5 hook. My gauge is 4 stitches per 2cm.
I've just finsihed the collar part and tried it on her to see if it fits but it doesn't go around her neck - there's about 7cm missing!
Is this right or is it too small?

I've already had to frog it all once and am extremely frustrated!!!

what gauge does the pattern suggest? It sounds like you might need a bigger hook - that is a lot tighter than the gauge I would usually get for DK

The gauge on the pattern is:
sport weight + 3.5mm hook = 4st per 2cm (size 1-2 years) ?????
DK weight + 4mm hook = 4.5st per 2cm (size 2-3 years)
worsted weight + 5.5mm hook = 3st per 2cm (size 3-4 years)

I made some booties from the same pattern designer and had similar issues - the 1-2 year size would have only fitted a doll!
