And it's off the needles!


Modicum Hat
Once I got to the decreases, the hat just flew off the needles.  But I had a lot of ends to weave in before I could cross the finish line.  Now I didn't leave them all to the end; that would have been close to overwhelming.  I stopped every few inches and got the tapestry needle out to weave in the loose ends.  Even so, it still felt like it took a quite a while to finish.  That's the downside to changing colors every three rows.  Ah, but no pain, no gain, as they say.

  3. Nice. Have you considered using one yarn with longish repeats for the second yarn? It would eliminate some of the nod weaving at least.
