We were having a big snowstorm on Sunday, Feb. 1. It didn't seem as bad where we were, compared to downtown Toronto, and what was expected for us. The school board said they'd let us know by 5 or 6am on Monday if schools would close. We were shocked when around dinner time on Sunday, the school board announced full closure on Monday. The week prior when we'd had a terrible storm they didn't close schools and they received so much criticism, so we think that was why they called it early.
To celebrate, I decided to knit another hat on the LK150!
Another Anna Haferman hat! They're super simple to make.
I pulled this yarn from the same bag (a thin, commercial type bag, like with the 1lb Mystery Fiber bags at the discount stores) as the last hat. That one had a Bernat "Mosaic" label on it, but this one didn't. It felt very similar, but it weighed 20gr more (total 107gr). I wanted it a bit longer, more manly slouch, but that didn't happen.
As I was sewing it up, the yarn kept breaking. That did not happen with the red one. So perhaps it wasn't Mosaic, or maybe they had changed it?
It was only a tiny bit wider. I think I kept it to the same stitch count, but tried a looser tension.
I finally donated all these hats (there's one more post to come) yesterday. I really need to get going on red scarves, but I'm crocheting a sweater, and I have a Christmas pair of socks on the go for Lucy's boyfriend, who works outside. Except that he just injured his hand really bad and won't be working for awhile.
