I finished my Malabrigo hat last night. I'm happy to say that the size seems perfect and I followed the pattern to the "T". I'm not entirely pleased with the way the pattern decreased at the top, I thought it could have been done a little more gracefully...but until I know enough to re-write or improvise, I will just do as I'm told.
I bought new yarn today =/ But I think it's justified...I'm taking an "intro" lace knitting class and you have to buy your yarn from the shop that hosts the class. I decided that this project will be for my mother-in-law. She is in Puerto Rico, and I've been wanting to make her something, but what does a person on the sunny island of Puerto Rico want with something knitted? Well, she wears wraps and shawls in the evenings because if it dips below 90 degrees, it's "chilly" out. So I saw that this class at Yarn Birds does a cute little lace wrap and that seems perfect! Pics of that yarn and finished hat coming soon. For now, I'm finishing up this Malabrigo scarf. And watching Phish DVDs.
