Yesterday I posted the beginning of this project, this hat. Like I said yesterday, I've been trying out some new skills and knitting techniques learned be reading knitting for dummies. One of them was the moss stitch, when I did it in the practice swatch I thought, "This would look nice as the brim of a hat." So I made one. I'd already made a rolled brim hat from a pattern that my grandmother had given me and modified it slightly into the button flap hat you see below.
This was my first attempt with circular needles, interesting, I think I'd like it with a bit more practice.
the finished product!!
Faith modeling the hat, not too bad.
*It's not as warm as I'd like, it's acrylic, but for this it's ok and I used what I had on hand.

I'm not a knitter, my grandmother is and I think she secretly wishes I was one, but alas, I'm not. That is not to say that I cannot knit, I can and I do, sort of. I've been flipping through the book knitting for dummies and decided to try the moss stitch pattern. Not being happy just doing that I decided to create something with that pattern. It's not done yet, but I'll post it when it is, the good the bad and the ugly of it.
