Of course I knit in Vegas! Duh. Everytime we were at the bar and Mark got up to go use the restroom I pulled out my linen stitch dishcloth that I've been carrying around in my purse. And in the morning (ok, afternoon, but it felt like morning) when I went downstairs to get much needed coffee I sat in the starbucks and started one of the many KALs that started this week. A big, huge, thank you to Cheryl for keeping me updated on the KALs and summer bingo. :-) Of course, Mark shook his head at me everytime I pulled out my knitting, but he never insisted I put it away. And I only had to tink 2 rows the whole time we were there. They were two rows I did in Rum Jungle and its just that I started with a k1 when I should have slipped one. If I had been on the other color, it would have been right. And I probaby could have left it anyway. Maybe no one would have noticed. Oh well. So I knit in the bar at the Luxor and at the bar at the Star Trek Experience where we had a wonderful lunch and there were many neon colored drinks. And at Rum Jungle, and sitting at the show before LOVE. :-) I was too busy eating dessert at the Bellagio buffet to knit there....
So I was on my way out the door to the St. Louis Cardinals game a couple nights ago when I realized I didn't have any purse size knitting on hand. I grabbed a ball of bernat chunky and a pair of size 10 16" circs out of my travel bag and stuffed them into my purse to contemplate at the game. I wanted something so super easy that by the time the game started I wouldn't have to think about it. I feel almost silly sharing this pattern, but I figured why not. So here is the hat: I don't really intend to turn up the edge to make a brim, but my model had trouble keeping it on otherwise. Its really stretchy and should fit almost any adult head. Its long enough to cover your ears, so if you really want a brim, go ahead and flip up the edge. Ok, here goes the pattern: Ridiculously Easy 3x3 Hat Yarn: I used Bernat Chunky Needles: Size 10 16" Circs or preferred method of knitting in the round CO 60 stitches and join for knitting in the round. Work in 3x3 rib for 7 inche
