I really like this pattern


It knits up so fast, and I just think its cool. Patons wool.

I'm really going to take a lashing for this....



But I can't hold it in. I made this today. Jen- I am soooo sorry. Let me explain. You see, I wanted to practice fair isle today in preparation for the KAL. So I looked at the pattern and looked at the tutorials it mentioned. Hmm, one was written out- so not for me and the other video I couldn't get to work. Ah well I decided I would try it anyway, just rolling West coast style, baby, then I decided why not try the colors I was going to use for the hat. Then I decided, well, why not try the hat, assuming I would make 345498 errors, get mad, throw yarn and start again on another day. But now, it was easy and it went really smoothly, and fast. So, there you have it- Center Square. I loved making this hat and I will totally make it again. With you. I swear. Of course, I have managed to photograph the one error in the pattern I made- it jags where I joined, so I think I need some remedial training there. Also, he has a big head so nevermind that some of the circles look like ovals.
