Hi Joyce, when you get back to your hat, let one of us loomers know, and 
we'll help you out with it.

Good luck Joyce

Yes, you will make it, don't give up on that hat, maybe the teacher can help
you with that too.

How clever "a hat for your ponytail.

I have a hat on my loom that all I had to do was make the draw string and
take it off the loom.

It didn't work too well so until I figure out what to do I will leave it
alone.

My thoughts are take it off & rip it out.  I think this is the second time I
messed up on this hat using this yarn.

I am really busy working on cleaning and getting my sewing room ready for
the new embroidery machine.

I have 6 more days before my son will be over to put the new desk together?
Then I have 8 days after that to set up the mew machine and organize the
supplies for it.  On October 8th I have an appointment  for the teacher to
come to my house and work with me.

I will make it, I will make it, I will make it!!!

Joyce

Well knitting is about all I'm doing craft-wise now that the long commute
and the job has started back up!

I'm making a hat, but I'm using a technique I invented myself which is real
mindless.

I cast on one stitch and do an increase that doesn't leave a hole. Can't
remember the name of that increase. But it leaves a pearl bump on the
right side.

When the base of the triangle is 20 inches or so wide--head sized, I
start knitting in the round. I've done this all on circs.

When it's hat-sized,I loosely bind off.

Then I sew the open part of the hat together, except before where the
part I knit in the round begins, I leave a hole for stuffing my long
pony-tail through.

Next, to finish it off, I use my fingers to make a separate chain of
yarn, like the crochet chain stitch. Using a tapestry needle I sew the
chain along the brim of the hat to give it more strength.

Then I make a shorter chain and sew it over the hole I made for the
pony-tail so it feels like a large, reinforced buttonhole.

I like this project because even if people are chatting at me I don't
need to think or count stitches!
