No talking … just details:

Hat

Hat Battle

Project Details:

• Pattern: Tuva
• Designer: Turvid Design
• Yarn: KP Merino Style.  Hand-dyed by me.  Blogged here
• Modifications: Shortened main section to 5.5 inches instead of 7 as per the pattern.
• Other comments: The number of k2tog gave me a callus on my fingers but I still enjoyed the pattern.  Used 9 inch circulars to decrease but coming to the end they were hard to maneuver.  Got some ladders that are noticeable by me but I doubt anyone else will see them.  I guess I’ll have to revisit both dpns and magic loop techniques.  Or … I might just do the Traveling Loop.

ETA: This project is my first completed for My Sister’s Knitter KAL/CAL and the fifth for my Summer Sizzle Stash Dash.

ETA again — This project also makes the cut for my Craft Book Challenge for July.  The pattern has been in my Ravelry library since early 2012.
