This is the Journal of puzzlella (playing word games, solving puzzles) << Collective gloves >> Subject: HAT Posted Dec 19, 2002 by puzzlella (playing word games, solving puzzles)   Posting 1 Well to knit a circle for the crown of the hat was going to be too hard. So I got out a crochet hook and worked a few rounds until I had a piece big enough for the crown. Then I crocheted a straight piece for the sides- do they have a name? Then joined it to the crown and made some rounds increasing gradually for the brim. And the customer is satisfied again. No, it didn't work out right first time- I increased too much for the brim and had a frilly effect which was not appreciated so I pulled it back a bit and tried again.

Every time I tried to I would get a wobbly thing that turned out to be nothing!!. But I loved knitting when I was younger and particularly fair isle and Arran knitting. Unfortunately I can no longer knit due to my hands being very unco-operative. I still do not know where you live!!. Perhaps you will tell me. I am now going to try and warm myself up as I am freezing.

I'm not very good at crochet and can't do anything from a pattern because the tension comes out wrong.

I made a pair of square covers on my knitting machine some years ago. (Watch out for my article on knitting machines which is coming up...) Do you knit?
