Morgan Hat

After much knitting on Friday and Saturday, I reached the top edges of the hat where you knit each stitch together with the one 3 rows below, creating a sort of rolled edge. I measured the hat at that point and realized it was way too big. The pattern says it has a width of about 8.25". On size 6 needles, I was getting a width of nearly 10".

On Sunday afternoon, I sat at Borders and ripped everything out so I could start over. I used size 4 needles and now have a width much closer to 8.25". The fabric is tighter too, which is nice because I felt it was too loose and had too many holes before.

At the rate I'm knitting the hat, I can probably finish it tonight or tomorrow. I could potentially even finish up a pair of Knucks made in the same Rowanspun yarn. I don't think the socks will happen. They would be the odd ones out since they wouldn't be made with a matching yarn.

The Rowanspun is softer than it felt in the skein. I hear it blooms and gets much softer after a good wet soaking.
