Knitting At Night
Davy has liked the hats I have made him but said that they got “itchy” when he got a little sweaty. My solution: a cotton blend hat. This is the Seaman’s Cap knit with Lion Brand Cotton Ease. This is really the only cotton yarn that I can knit with for any length of time without my wrists complaining. It has enough acrylic in it to make it have a little give.
Doesn’t he look happy?
I started a project last night at work. Working nights has some advantages and one is that when the patients are sleeping, everything is stocked and you’ve done all your continuing education, there is nothing left to do except knit. (right?) Davy said that I needed to knit myself a beret so I looked through all the Ravelry patterns and found one that looked interesting.  This is the Star Crossed Sloucy Beret knit with some stash yarn – Bernat Softee Chunky. I should be done with this in the next couple days but here is the work in progress.
The bonus about those pictures is that is shows off my Knit Picks Harmony Options Interchangeable needles. I love these needles so much. It is such a great way to have a good assortment of needles available and they are pointy, slick and the joins where the cable meets the needle is very smooth. I love these needles!
I have another finished object but I can’t share it with you until the recipient receives it. Just know that it is very cute!!
Until next time ~Happy Knitting!!

Hats all around! How long did Dave’s hat take? I like it a lot but you know my attention span…
Can’t wait to see the beret modeled!
The hat didn’t take long at all. You can do it!
