Meditative
This is both hideously slow and oddly meditative.
Each round has a little over 100 stitches, so it takes rather a long time to click through. But at the same time, the stitch is simple enough that my hands just sort of do it on auto pilot, so I don’t actually have to pay much attention. The combination makes for an oddly satisfying sort of project. I’m fairly sure it will never actually be done, but I’m enjoying the process more than I would have expected.
It’s really lovely.
Welcome to the world of process knitters! 😉
The hat looks beautiful and it will certainly find an end somewhere, sometime.
Looks awesome. Your earlier post said slipped stitches. If so, I’m totally in. (sjn821 on Rav)
I have made more than a few sockhead hats (look on Rav for Sockhead). Sock yarn, and you cast on about 130 stitches then do ribbing for several inches then you switch to stockinette for about five months. But it makes an awesome hat if you use some of the really spectacular sock yarn.
But I’m not kidding about the “five months” part, and that’s active knitting, not chuck it in a bag for three months.
