it's also free if you hit up knitting pattern central or something like that (or google kittyville hat, i'm sure it'll come up)

as for me, i used this pattern from knitty and kind of just winged the fingers on the front.

edit: hat pattern - http://www.kittyville.com/knit/adult_devil_hat.html

Another 400ish yards of some unidentified roving I got from a friend after I bought my wheel. It's pretty scratchy but I love the colors.

That is goddamn beautiful. Maaad props.

Thanks to the both of you. Anyone have any advice on how to convince my boyfriend to sit still for such a long time?

I knit these non-fancy socks out of knit picks swish superwash for my dad in the last two days before I left home for school, and now i'm working on the Retro Redux Shrug from Lace Style.

I also highly recommend Ann Budd's Getting Started Knitting Socks for anyone who is interested in learning how but is a little scared or whatever reason. Socks were the first thing I tackled and this book made them so addicting (good for my dad) and easy (good for me).

I've heard some people have had problems understanding the way to do a yarnover from the way it's shown in Stitch 'n Bitch. I never had any problem with it, but apparently it's a well-known problem. I guess it can come across like you are supposed to knit that yarn over immediately after forming it? I'm not sure. I do know on the knitting LiveJournal group if someone is having a problem with a yarnover, they ask, "Were you learning from Stitch 'n Bitch?"

Ha! This was me, a week ago. I was kind of dumbfounded at the difference between the book and knittinghelp.
