I didn’t mention it then, but while I was at Purple Purl I picked up a skein of malabrigo worsted to make a chunky hat a la geeuknit + skrilla.
love me some yarn cake in the morning…
Pattern: Foliage – Knitty Fall 2007
Needles: 6.5mm crystal wood palace dnps, 6.5mm bamboo circs
Mods: An an extra half pattern repeat was added for a more prominent bubble slouch like I wanted.
Couldn’t be bothered to switch needles for the ribbing and it turned out better that way.
I also added 5 or 6 more round of ribbing for stability
Notes: It seems I knit a tighter than I’m convinced I do. I thought about going down a size to 6’s but I’m glad I didn’t.
Inspitationals: geeuknit, skrilla
