Well, for all my good intentions of finishing that hat, I didn't! After making yesterday's journal entry, I thought about that I-cord rug again. Also, how messy my scrap basket has been getting. So yesterday, I tied all the ends together & made a large ball of the scrap pieces. Then I started knitting on it, just to see how much I could get done. I did a few yards of I-cord, got the ball about a third of the way down, & called it quits for the night.
It was a pretty successful day, in my opinion. The scrap basket is very neat again, not overflowing like it was yesterday! The small pieces are in one big ball, so no loose ends there! (Ack! Bad pun!) I also re-wound some of the small balls that had come undone.
I still have a lot, & I guess I'm just too frugal (read: cheap) to throw them away. I guess I can't bear to pitch them out, when I think there is SOMETHING I can do with them. I think I may try to get the family involved. My daughter does know how to knit, so maybe I should put her to work! Plus, I did try to teach the hubby how to knit once, he was doing great with it too, but I'm sure he felt it wasn't very manly! God forbid his brothers see him doing something foo-foo like knitting! Ha ha!
I'm planning on finishing that mitered hat. I'm just trying to figure out how I want to finish the brim. I was thinking ribbing, but now, I'm not so sure. Maybe I'll start a girly hat & leave the other one in my view so I can think of other ideas for it. Sometimes I have to let them brew for awhile before I get an inspiration! Oh, well...off to knit!
