A Winner and A hat

While I thought about pulling a number out of a hat, with 152 comments, that didn't seem feasible.  Instead, I used a random number generator and got this:

Here are your random numbers:

Congratulations Jen!

( Ok, I've been knitting for 4+ years and today I read about tuck stitches. What are these?! Does this book have the answer? I'm hoping to find out.

For the record, I don't know what tuck stitches are either!  Jen, email me your address and I will get the book in the mail to you right away.

In other knitting matters, here is Fatty's completed hat.  It's been finished for awhile now, but I've neglected to take photos until now.

I wanted to post the pattern for you all, but just haven't had the time to write it all down.  The 70's ski hat over on the Purl Bee is made almost the same way.  Theirs has stripes, mine has fair isle  and theirs has two decreases and mine has four decreases per round.  On mine, I knit one round between my decrease rounds.  Have I lost you?  If you need help, email me and I will try my best to explain it better.  I do use the provisional cast on, but, alas, no cashmere for Fatty.  Just some super soft bel air by ggh.  Love that yarn.  I used it to make these mitts for Meg which just happen to match the green cabled hat.  Coincidence?  I think not.

Back tomorrow with a completed project I can actually share (imagine that!) and my newest wrapping technique.

Great hat! I'm totally lost on the instructions, knowing nothing about knitting, but I think it looks great! Maybe I'll have to make it my New Year's resolution to learn at something about how to knit. Anyone know of a great class in the SF South Bay, or a great book to learn from??

The hat looks great. I'm in sweater purgatory at the moment so a hat looks so nice, fun, and finishable.

Love that hat. It's definitely a winner!

Love the hat. Strangely enough I was getting ready to knit some fair isle mittens today and then found I didn't have the correct needles. Maybe I'll just do a hat.

I love fatty's hat. I think that your blue and green combo is rubbing off on me. I am planning a quilt...

[Amber]

What a fun hat. I'm still in awe that you are doling out so many knitted gifts! My friends & I have commented on the difference between knitting & sewing in terms of time: I've procrastinated too much to rely upon knitting at this point... Kudos to you!! :-)

Love the hat. Do we get to see a picture of Fatty sporting his new hat?

Su-Lu pointed me back in this direction and I'm so glad she did! I love all the things you've been doing and I really love your new logo photo!
