I actually made this same hat in a different yarn a few years ago but didn't check my 'gauge' [the process that makes sure the size of the needles is appropriate so that your garment fits correctly] and the hat was barely big enough for a baby :-( This time I checked my needle size correctly and it fit! Now I'm making another one for a Christmas gift.
Today I'm starting a class at a local yarn shop. The class is for 4, 2-hour sessions where I will learn how to make this sweater, the Mondo Cable Cardi. I'm super excited b/c I really want to start making things I can wear, not just hats, scarfs, and blankets. But I'm also nervous b/c it's obviously harder to make a sweater than a big square or rectangle...but that's what I'm paying for the class for I guess right? So, I'll post my progress this afternoon if it's worth it.
Now it's time to get some cleaning and decorating done!
Ok, that sweater is going to be freaking AWESOME! When I first saw that you were going to knit a sweater, I totally thought "geeky"... but don't get me wrong, that was until I saw the picture. I forget that I wear "cool" sweaters all the time. Hehe... So what color yarn are you going to use? I'm so excited to see how it works out for you :)
