our 1st project was to make a seamed hat--more of a winter cap. i used merino wool in some lovely colors for my 1st hat. it's made using a garter stitch and is super easy to do.
so easy in fact, that i made a 2nd hat so i could continue practicing. this hat is done i blues, teals, and purples. i am not sure who i am going to give it to, but the 1st hat will go to my niece thea.
i went to northcoast knittery today, for world knit day and got some help with my 2nd project--a coffee cup sleeve. it's much harder for me as it is knitted in the round and i get confused easily. if anyone has any tips for me i'd love to hear them!

thanks for sharing. i'm usually a cold-weather knitter, keeping my hands busy in the garden through the warmer months. but posts like this get my fingers itching to pick up the needles again. i just got some new needles today and i have a feeling they'll have a new project on them tonight...
as for knitting in the round, not sure how to help. but keeping a ring marker at the start of the round helps me keep track. good luck!

Both of your hats are beautiful. I love the colors. As for knitting, I can do it as long as I'm going in a straight line like a scarf! That's all I've ever managed to knit. Do you read Crazy Aunt Purl? She has a lot of knitting advice on her blog.
oooh! thanks ladies. i have tried a stitch marker, what got me was the 3 double pointed needles!
thanks for the crazy aunt purl tip, i've gotta check her out!
