I got to the decrease portion of the hat, and knowing full well I did not have enough yarn to finish properly, I improvised, using drastic decreases to finish. I had to tie off the live stitches at the end using a spare bit of Noro. Needless to say, shortening the hat with drastic decreases and skipping the all knit rows between decrease rows did not result in a hat that resembled the slouchy beret I was hoping for. I tried it on, and looked like I had a Super Mario Brothers mushroom on my head. So I frogged, and the lovely red yarn is a cake once again. It is certainly enough yarn to make a beanie, but not a slouchy beret.
Today I finished one fingerless glove, and hope to get a chunk of the second done this evening. Until then, enjoy some more non-knitting pictures!
