a small crafty victory

friends, i am very proud to announce that i have completed my first knit of the season! it just so happens to be my very first hat- not just your average dish cloth or scarf! woo hoo! 
thanks to our weekly stitch n’ bitch group & the encouragement of a dear friend, i decided to pick up my circular knitting needles & give knitting in the round a shot, despite my left-handed knitting fails of the past.

meet paprika, the first born hat of many hat babies to come.

{ok, that might be a little too far…}

for the pattern, i used sweet multicrafty’s free pattern, “weekend head warmer.” it took me about four hours to knit this baby up, but if you’re a skilled knitter unlike myself, it should take much less time. 
do let me know if you try knitting this hat!
love,
natalie

p.s. i admire all of the knitting bloggers out there for their perfect knitting photos. the photos were harder than the knitting!
