Playing it by ear.

I am busy knitting a wide-brimmed sunhat for this darling girl:



...and I am totally making it up as I go along. As always when I am flying by the seat of my pants, I am desperately hoping the hat fits for more than 5 minutes after bind-off.

We fly on Thursday and I am having trouble deciding what knitting to take. Wichita is getting socks for Christmas and I have been terribly unmotivated to work on them -- size 14 men's socks in plain St st, no surprise, huh? At least I have some color changes to work with. I'd like to take something that would be a challenge in the face of all that stockinette. Maybe something cabled. Not socks. Legwarmers? Maybe.

But first I have to finish this hat.
