Crowning Glory

I have to say, I like French Weave from the wrong side a lot, too:

As far as the hat goes, I'm on the crown decreases, see? I decided there's no good way to decrease in the pattern so I'm just doing basic "watch-cap"-y decreases, but doing SSK because it's easier than K2TOG, at least for me. And damnit, it's my hat design.

Speaking of designs, I actually have had someone express interest in the Cable-y Goodness design. I can't tell you how flattered I was, especially since I never really thought of myself as much of a knitwear designer, even though I do enjoy the knitting immensely. But now, I'm like, how cool!

Anyhow, regardless of whether I am a knitwear designer or simply a knitter (who blogs, of course,) I'm always having a good time if I am knitting... even when I'm cursing the yarn or tinking back 250 stitches (like I did this evening when I realized I flubbed part of the French Weave pattern). And I think I do at least a little bit better on each successive project I undertake. And isn't that what it's all about, ladies and gentlemen?
