Hat

Hiya from a.,

I just have a quick little thing to show you today.  I made a winter hat.  This is nothing new or super exciting, but it is done with a technique I hadn't tried before and I am pleased with the results.  The hat was done in all vertical slip stitch rows.  This ended up creating a denser fabric that more closely resembles a knit item.  It was fun to try something a little bit different.  Here are the end results:

Yes I know that it is a rather bright pink - but are you really that surprised by the colour?  This is all slip stitch in the back loop which while it is a dense fabric it is also a very stretchy fabric:

That is my foot holding down the one side while I pulled the other.  When you look at the two photos you can see just how much give the fabric ended up with.

Finally here is a picture of it on:

I didn't intend to frame the photo like this but it amuses me to no end that in the background beside the super pink hat you can see the day of the dead hello kitty that r painted for me for my birthday.

see you space cowboy....
