Knitting

Knitting? Yes, that it the topic of this post. It doesn't have anything at all to do with the major theme of this blog, but I feel like writing about it anyway.

I've been stressed out because of family stuff recently and thus been unable to concentrate on homework. Instead, I've been procrastinating via knitting. I only know the basics, but I'm learning more. I used to only be able to make scarves, but I recently have been making hats. My first one is big, lumpy, green, and currently sitting on my head to keep me toasty warm. It kinda looks like a mushroom. I've made 2 more hats, each a better quality and more stylized, but for whatever reason, I haven't been able to replicate this first one.

I want to make one like the first one (a slouchy hat), but I guess I've not made it wide enough, slouchy enough, with enough stitches in the width. I was trying not to make the hats as lumpy as this first ones. Instead, I end up with something close to a skull cap. -_- Not what I was looking for. Ah well. I'll keep at it.
