Thanks! I'm so delighted to have found the sweet spot for my knitting skills--the project is going so smoothly as a result. Amazing what not-struggling can do for the mood and productivity.
This looks impressive! I hate sewing up so much that I find myself reluctant to finish knitting the last piece in a pattern because I know that my beautiful knitting is going to be spoiled by my useless sewing. (I can sew material perfectly well; I just can't seem to sew two pieces of knitting together.)
I usually avoid complicated patterns because then I can't follow my book at the same time, but I think it might be worth it in this case. And presumably once you get to the body it's pretty straightforward from then on.
It does look impressive! And it is--the impressiveness is mostly built into the pattern and techniques. The most impressive thing I've done here is to break the highly-condensed five-page pattern out into a row-by-row list of instructions.
Then I use County Plus, a knitting row-counter app, on my phone to keep track of which row I'm on. It's basically a 200+ row pattern with no repeats
( ... )
I just know there's a hat pattern out there that will let you have a success. And meanwhile, scarves for the win! To break out of my terrible-failure knitting slump, I went back to scarves, and now I have two gorgeous pieces that make me eager for winter's return so I can show them off in public.
