I'm on my third attempt at this qiviut hat for my husband (In the back). First try was way too big, second try, sized down to smaller needles was looking like a newborn hat, and this third time around (after a year's intermission) I forgot some of the pattern notation and ended up ripping out a sizable portion of it. This hat and I, we are not best friends, to put it mildly. It was slated for a Christmas present, then a birthday present, and now with only a few rows left to go, it's looking like it might be a good Valentines Day gift. But for some reason, known to and understood only by knitters, I decided to start making another hat in the interim. Because you know, with this really tough stretch of balmy winter temps we've been enjoying, I'm sure you can't have enough hats. Maybe this spring-like weather just made me long for some colorful yarn... yes, that must be it. All that qiviut knitting was starting to make my fingers sweat anyways.
