I've had quite the productive couple of weeks. I crocheted a Katamari Damacy hat for a friend who's traveling to a comic books convention in a couple weeks. I studied online pix of other people's interpretations (mainly the Mad Tea Party version) and just sort of winged it. I did lift the crown shaping from the Stitch 'n' Bitch Crochet Happy Hooker book, and even then I had to start over a couple times. I'm a novice with hooks.
All the little nobules I completed over the weekend, and then I stuffed them with polyfill. So now I have the task of attaching the nobules to the hat ahead of me. Not exactly easy -- but not terribly difficult either. I could have tackled it this weekend, but I wanted a break so I unraveled the "Madagascar" v-neck instead because it was too small.
There's a new sweater on the needles, a top-down raglan ... again. I'm determined to get it right. So far I have completed (nearly) four sweaters for all time: #1 utter sparkly disaster, #2 Bad Penny with mods to sleeve/body lengths (wearable, WARM), #3 free-form, top-down cardigan using Noro (too large, frogged), and #4 the easy v-neck raglan using Cascade 220 in the Madagascar colorway (too small, frogged). Swatching and patience are skills/virtues I am slowly accepting as necessary for creating wearable garments.
I hope to have some FO and WIP pix up soon ... that is, if I can find my camera.
