Big Needles

First off, thank you for the nice comments about my scarf and green hat.  Y’all have a way of making me feel so good!

Now, I’ve had a couple of you ask what size needles I used to make the Pom Pom hat.  The pattern suggested size 19’s.  I remember running out to the store to find some.

Here’s what I knit that hat with:

Yeah, I know.  Them’s some big needles, eh?

I was able to complete the hat in under two hours, and that’s only because I had to seam it up.

Make the hat, people.  Do whatever it takes to bring an embarrassed smile to your own family.

Changing the subject a bit…

I thought I would share these pictures I took of Molly today.

Notice her sewn-up ear?

She’s such a sweet girl, she really is.
