And even though Ann is awesome, I'm going to admit that I didn't quite follow the pattern as you wrote it. (like always...) Instead of holding a yarn double, I just used my hand spun held single because I didn't want to use rent money on yarn...again. It knits like a dream and I'm pretty sure several in my family will be getting this for Christmas, if that's alright with you, Ann?
Lets see, I've also started on a baby blanket for one of my oldest and bestest friends. I keep forgetting that I'm 22 and not 12, and people my age do in fact spawn. I'm still working on this. But the blanket is going to be amazing and soft and the little chichorito is going to love it...assuming I can convince the cable in the pattern to stop being a stuck up bitch.
Sock heels still suck but I've made my peace with that because Jeff bought me 2 1/2 pounds of dreamy corriedale that is going to be dyed, spun and then knit into a sweater. Plus it means that when he find yarn all over his backpack, it isn't totally my fault anymore. I love dating an enabler.
(pssssst. Look at all my new pages!)

Yeah, my hat!
The contrasting rib is an interesting idea. That is the fun of knitting, making the pattern your own.
Christmas presents? My hat shall cover the world hahahaha!
Hey, I think this is the blog template I was messing with yesterday. Yours looks better than the mangled format I produced. I want pages! Jealous(1)
I wasn't sure I was going to like the ribbing, because I had never seen it done like that, but I like it!!! I think is going to be my hat for today, since it's actually cold (85 is the high today).
For pages, go to the same place that you would write a new post, but at the top you'll see edit post or edit pages, and then click on the pages tab.
