crafty shtuff: fisherman's hat finished!!!

You may remember a long long ago post about knitting a fisherman's rib hat, well I have struggled with this first hat of mine terribly! I have torn it out and started anew a couple of times. The most recent being a week ago. As sad as it can be, frogging your knit project is sometimes the only answer. Honestly all these re-do's have increased my knitting skills on both fisherman's rib and knitting in the round. And I have learned my lesson that you need to stop and redo the first time you realize you've flubbed up!

All this was torn out & redone, ouch...
The final do over, and it's looking good!
I know that I had started this hat for the adorable lad, Che, on the Spike Africa that had lost his hat on our sailing adventure. I totally chickened out and was too nervous to give it to him & now he has gone off to Europe for the winter. So now it sits on Babo the Uglydoll's head. 


I think Babo wears it well!
