I am participating in the Ravery group Stories of the Traveling Stitch Markers. If you are on Ravelry, go take a look: http://www.ravelry.com/groups/stories-of-the-traveling-stitch-markers . I received them in the mail last weekend and they are so very beautiful. I need to take pictures of them. Since the only thing I am working on right now fast and furiously is a suprise, it might be a little while before project pics get posted here. but there will be some on Ravelry for sure, since I know the recipient won't be able to stumble across them there. Anyhow, its a fun and interesting group and it will be neat to see where all of the stitch markers go. So far no one else in Oklahoma had signed up, but part of the deal is that these markers can be passed on by hand, you don't have to send them to a particular list, as long as people agree to the terms and post about their stuff. So in about a month who knows, you could receive the traveling stich markers.
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
