amazon_syren Dec. 30th, 2011 04:33 pm)Two things.
One: The hat I am making for myself is - having transferred it to a set of circular needles that are big enough to hold it when it's at its widest - about 4 inches too big-around in the hat-band area. Help?
Not that I have a crochet hook,though I could probably rig something up (un-bent paperclip, etc) BUT: Is it possible to knit a new section of garment directly to a piece of garment that has been cast-off (or on, as the case may be)? Or do I just need to knit-and-pearl[1] a ban of eighty and then start reducing from there? Thoughts? Suggestions? Help?
Two: As mentioned, above, I now have a set of 6mm circular needles with a much longer (32", iirc) string. YAY! :-D I also have:
A set of Very Very Thin circular needles (the plan is to make ruffled and/or lacey stocking-extensions on them)
Two balls of burgundy/brick-red fishnet-yarn (for the making of said ruffled stocking-extensions -- I will need to have the method of this shown to me yet again so that I can do it right, but that's The Plan)
Two balls of PINK cotton-angora yarn (not lace-weight) for the purposes of knitting a really, REALLY simple lace patterned stocking extensions (when I'm feeling up for it -- I will have to get a better hang of pearling and increasing before I do this, I think, as well as this "yarn-over" business, but that's The Plan)
One ball of purple yarn (100% wool) in a thicker (oh, well) gage and a different shade (far bluer, somewhat lighter) than the purple stuff with-which I've started my hat
One ball (or twise, really) of many-hued hand-painted merino that (handily) contains both shades of purple PLUS a few number of pinks, berries, and blues -- this will be used to bridge the two purple yarns (probably more than once) by adding... oh, about five rows (I hope) of it between one purple and the other.
It'll work. :-)
I do not yet have a spindle, but that is not a problem. :-)
Tomorrow we go to Monreal (to visit the biodome! :-D) and I shall bring (a) salted-caramel chocolate[1] and (b) my knitting bag and (c) Kushiel's Dart in the car with us to keep us entertained. Whee! :-D
TTFN,
Amazon. :-D
