Twinkle Weekend Knits - Urchin Beret

I know these are a lotta pics but I like 'em all... :)

This had was sooooo easy to work!

Again, unfortunately, this had was made with size 17 -19" circular needles and pattern calls for size 19 - 16".

I did make a 2nd hat with my 19 - 24" circular needles and it came out even better and even cutter! Double, unfortunately, I forgot to take a pic of it before giving it to my sis-in-law. :)

I'll make another and put the 2 together for comparison between size 17 & size 19 needles.

Used Lion Wool-Ease Thick & Quick in Fisherman (not even a whole skein!)

Twinkle's Big City Knits - Aspen Hat

This hat came out soooo cute and it's soooooo easy!
I'm lovin' these quick projects! They help me get thru my random yarn and they're a quick fix!

:)

I'd like to make another one with 2 different colors (ie - white brim and pink crown, etc)

I will say tho... I'm getting (really getting) the importance of gauge and checking it before making ANYTHING!

Also, importance to sticking with pattern rules (which I think goes back to gauge). This pattern calls for size #19 - 16" circular needles.

As far as I can tell, they don't exist!!! :-( (I've looked everywhere, called everywhere, online searched everywhere and nothin'!)

Anyway, so I made this hat with my size 17 - 16" circulars and it came out cuuuute but small.

I've pulled out my #19 - 24" circulars and am gonna try it again. Hopefully it'll come out correct (size-wise) but I worry about reaching a point in decreasing where the 24" will be too big for the hat!

Used Lion Wool Ease Thick & Quick in Fisherman (about 1/2 a skein).

Snowcap Hat (Twinkle Weekend Knits)

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I finished that hat tonight! My first project from the Weekend Knits book!

Wear-wise, it's fine. It's the type of hat I'd wear on a day when I'm trying to hide my 'bad hair day' hair...

Knit-wise, it was easy! And, as far as I can tell (at least in this pattern anyway) there's no errata!

This is a pretty basic k2, p2 rib pattern with decreasing towards the top and then sewing a left over strand of yarn thru stitches at top, pulling it tight, etc. etc...

So my hubby is sitting here telling me that this hat can't really be the gauge for if this 2nd Twinkle book will be chalk-full of errata like the first one.

Um, thanks hubby...

I know, I know...

This was an easy one. Maybe (after I finish the Twinkle Hoodie) I'll try a tunic or something a little more involved that k2, p2 on circular needles...

But in the meantime... YAY!

hee...

Twinkle Hoodie

Blah blah, blah blah...

I dunno why I'm having such a hard time getting into this one...

Esp since this one is fairly easy!

I think I'm a bit intimidated by the pockets.

The sleeves have been easy. And the rib (k2, p2) on the body is easy... Hopefully the rest will be too...

And I checked out the errata and it's definitely got some errors in the pattern. Ugh...
I wonder if I can leave the pockets off...

They are cute, tho.
