If you are looking at this picture of Maddie and thinking, "Wow, that's an amazing hat she has on. It looks so cute and cozy and well-made. I wonder where she got it?"
Then wonder no longer, because I MADE it! This is especially cool because a week-and-a-half ago I did not know how to knit. Taught myself. Yes, you are in the presence of genius. But you already knew that.
Next I am going to knit Nicholas a hat that is knitted from the top down on circular needles and has two ear flaps. Sound complicated? I think so. I have been studying (staring at) the pattern for days now, and think I understand most of it, but I do not see where the second ear flap comes in. This is not so bad, though, is it? It's better to have one warm ear than none, right? Tomorrow I start.
