Posterous theme by Cory Watilo

Leaf me alone

So I was instantly smitten by the Foliage Hat in the Fall Knitty, and I started one up right away, using Manos in a weird pink/grey colorway.
Somewhere along the line, I made a mistake and ended up with the wrong number of stitches. I tried to figure out where the mistake occurred, but I just couldn't. So a frogging we will go.
The leaf pattern didn't come across too well in the variegated yarn, and the gauge was a little off. Although the pattern is written for two gauges, Manos falls squarely between the gauges and I didn't think this hat through well enough before starting. That is a common theme in my knitting, unfortunately! I know this yarn will be a hat someday, I just have to find (or design) the proper pattern.
