Felicity



Faced with the frustration of Ariann (still!), I decided I needed some instant gratification, so I impulse casted on for the Felicity cap. I love its slouchy-ness and boho feel, and let's not forget its very quick-to-knit nature.



Project: Felicity by Wanett Clyde
Yarn: Mirasol Miski in lavender, 1 1/2 skeins
Needles: Knitpicks Classic Circulars in US size 5 and 7.
Start: November 2
Finish: November 11

Thoughts:
Even though I'm usually a loose knitter, the cast on edge was a bit too tight, but that's because I am of the big head family. Next time I make this, I'll cast on with size 6s instead. I followed the directions and made no mods, and love how it turned out. The yarn, 100% baby llama, was very soft, but a tad splitty. If only I had a full head of hair to really rock this this hat. Sweetie Girl seems to love it, but then she loves anything. However, it's already been sent to Sweetie Niece in Virginia where they're experiencing a bit of a cold snap from what I understand. And she has tons hair with its own great curl and wave. So jealous. She's 15, can definitely rock the boho look, and likes purple. Perfect!


Peace out, everybody.
