Day 363 of 2023

Fireball in his new hat and one mitt. 

(Please ignore the stitch marker and un-woven end.) 

The second mitt is about one third done.

 

Day 329 of 2023

Yarn update: 

The blue yarn is in its hand wound ball. 

I tried two different needles in order to get the correct gauge 

for the hat I intended to make for Fireball. 

After I finally got the right numbers, 

I did a little of the actual pattern which includes eyelets. 

The subsequent eyelet holes were way too large for my liking. 

I'm afraid that Fireball's head might not stay warm. 

So I selected a different hat pattern that I've been wanting to make. 

On that swatch I also had to try two different needles. 

I had to do some of my own math 

to change the pattern a little to make it work, 

but I am now on my way making a hat.
