I don't think I'll ever understand it, but since I don't have time to study it now and I have stuff to do this morning, I have to save it for later.
Things I'm working on: A to-be-felted purse. I'm sort of swirling the two main colours with the Noro. It seemed like the thing to do. I found a skein of Noro without a speck of icky pink and it begged to be mixed with a light grey and dusky, eggplant-y purple. I've been obsessed with hats lately and so it's still about half finished. Hats. Lots of hats. I applied my Mimsy pattern to a cowl, but it rolls and that annoys me, so, perhaps a new cast on? Maybe just knit the thing like a scarf and kitchener it together?
I do have a cloche hat idea rattling around in my head. But I'm trying to ignore it.

procrastination
And it's nearly a month later and the patterns still aren't up for sale. Why? Because I always second guess myself. And because I can never stop tweaking a pattern.
The Vorpal Vortex got a brim tweak, which needed a math fix and then eventually a decrease fix - but only in stitch count and sections, not procedure. So that shouldn't be too difficult.
The Slithy Tove hat needed to be re-worked for worsted weight yarn. Which meant math overhaul on the whole thing. I thought I had the math worked out, only to be almost done with the brim section and realise that no, I didn't have enough stitches. Rip out, cast on, try again. It's going well now and when I get to the decrease section I need to write out what I'm doing, exactly, not just type up place notes and blithely continue knitting. (like I did for the last version)
Mimsy hat is ready to go though! So I did try to fling it up on Rav only to encounter problems with changing the store name and then a glitch during upload.
I would like to clone myself so that I have knitting minions, 'cos I can't knit two hats at the same time. feh.
The Caroline hat is done - except for weaving in a few ends and attaching the buttons. I'll do that today and she will likely be at the shop tonight. I never washed it though, have to tell her it needs that.
