I had the idea that I would donate them to a homeless shelter, but since we're nearly done with winter I that will have to wait for a while. In the meantime, I thought you might like to see what I did.
I tried a variety of patterns, stitches and needles, including circular needles, which I'd never heard of before. While I liked the fact that the circular-knitted ones don't have a seam up the side, I wasn't too thrilled with working the crowns with double-ended needles; that's a dropped-stitch (or twelve) disaster just waiting to happen!
It was fun, though, and quick. A pretty decent way to keep myself out of mischief, all things considered.
You need to learn magic looping on circular needles - so much easier - it is how I do all my socks and small circ items (those double-points are just scary!) Should be heaps of helpful videos on youtube :)
ReplyDeleteAhah! Thank you for the good advice. I thought there must be an easier way to do it! I'm totally with you on those double-ended needles.
