So I wanted to make this hat -- http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/rose-red -- as my second knitting project. Yes, Virginia,
willowoak is just a little insane. Trying to figure out dpns and lace at the same time is more than a little crazy making.
At least I got the i-cord working. It would be really pathetic if I couldn't figure out the "idiot cord." I even figured out knitting into the front and back loops increase. It was when I split the stitches onto the three dpns and started trying to work in the round and do increases that it started to go to hell in a handbasket. *le sigh*
I think that I'll scale back and try something less adventurous to get my skillz up to par and tackle this one again. Maybe make this project number THREE. :)
