I started out making a basket weave scarf. I proved to myself that I did indeed know how to switch stitches. In fact in got to the point I was solely concentrating on remembering when I starting a new block. For the most apart I did pretty good at that. I made some mistakes, but I'm okay with them.
However I forgot to take pictures of it while it was still a scarf! Yes, half way through the scarf knitting I decided to make it into a hat. I seamed up the ends and picked up stitches from the side and started knitting with the DTNs. I had suspected that I was knitting with too small needles and switching from the straights to the DTNs confirmed this. After about two inches, or so, it got too tight to keep on knitting. I switched over to a crochet hook and did two rounds, trying to make it loose. Then I switched back to the same DTNs, (they were what I had) I tried really hard to pull a loose loop out as I K2T. I messed up at the very last as I decreased (have done this before on another hat too, must watch out for this), and lost track of what needle was next. I skipped one needle and had to come back to it, so in reality, this hat has two centers!!! I then decided that the hat was too short, so I picked up the stitches on the bottom with the crochet hook and did three rounds on it in single stitch.
