Olympic Event #1

Either I overestimated the difficutly of this cap project or I totally underestimated my knitting skills because I'm whizzing through this cap. I will admit that getting it cast on was a bitch but that was my fault. The pattern calls for a 16" circular needle and I couldn't find one so I bought two 32" thinking I could knit in the round with two. Well, that was a disaster. I tried casting on four times Friday night during the opening ceremonies before I just threw the thing aside in disgust. I was able to find a 16" needle on Saturday, cast on and get going with no further problems.

The pattern is only 54 rows. I have four rounds of eight rows before the decreases begin. I've already done two in just a couple of hours. I'll be ready to begin decreasing probably tonight but I haven't been able to find a set of size 10 double-points yet. I have E out searching as I type. If he can't find them, I'm going to have to order a set.

Since this pattern seems to be much less difficult than I had imagined, I have further challenged myself to finish his Wavy scarf as well.

Happy Knitting, Y'all!
