I started another hat yesterday. I was going to try my "new" idea, but realized I didn't have enough yarn in the colors I wanted to use. So I just figured I would do another helix spiral hat. I think I'm hooked on those!! :) But after doing a few inches, I'm not happy with the results. I think I'm going to frog it & start a different hat. I'm thinking the mitered hat would work well with the colors I have, & I think I should have enough of the colors I've choosen to do at least one or two sections of the miter wedges. Plus, I can always add to my color choices if I run out while in progress.
So much for my good intentions of finishing a hat yesterday. I hate when that happens. I get all excited about a new project, but when it doesn't come out as anticipated, it deflates my energy. Sigh. I'm planning to at least START it today, & that type of hat seems to go fairly quickly, so I hope to have a good amount done on it later today.
One of my biggest problems with getting started on a new hat is choosing the colors. I wanted to make another "boyish" color hat, because I don't have a lot of "boy" colors. When I make a girly-type hat, my choices are definately easier! The pitfalls of having a girl-child...only having girl color yarns!
