This Must Be What Knitting Feels Like

Finished the Simon Tam.  Had to knit it sneaky like, on my planning period.  I had no papers to grade and no lessons to plan, so what else was I to do?  Looks purty darn good too.  This is the hat still blocked over a dinner plate.

 

Once I got the hang of the brioche stitches, I loved this pattern all the way up until I reached the decreases.  Getting the needle in the right place to k2tog under the yarn overs was some of the most physically taxing knitting that I’ve ever done.  I broke out in to a sweat–I huffed and puffed like a freight train.  But I still like the pattern enough to want to knit it again for myself in some more Lorna’s Laces Bullfrogs and Butterflies that I have in a pink color.  Of course, it helps that I would be knitting a…sing it with me now…Raspberry Beret!

Reader Auntie P turned me onto the Sock Wars.  Sounds like it could be some fast and furious fun.  What do you think?
