• Purl:
    1. To knit with a reverse stitch. 2. Thread made of twisted gold or silver wire. 3. To flow with a curling or rippling motion as a shallow stream does over stones.

This the Season for a hat

An impromptu knitting project:

Malabrigo Rasta i color 120 Lotus.

I am knitting the sidewinder beanie by Aspen Leaf Knits.    I desperately need a warm hat and this should be pretty close to instant gratification, except that I have already ripped it out twice.    This third attempt seems to be going well though.  It is a simple pattern and there is no reason for messing up except that I seem to have done so.  At least now I have memorized the pattern, and I also have a better understanding of how to rip back when i have made an error.  

 

Hopefully no more setbacks, and easy enough for Christmas knitting.
