All The Essentials

I am finally picking back up my Deep & Meaningful Hat!

It’s cold, it’s dark and still February. So I decided to grab all the self care essentials….Diet Coke and Knitting. I am using handspun so I am VERY unsure how far I can get with this hat. Probably another project I should have done top down. But I’m not going back now. Future Rachelle might regret those words.

I did like 3.5 or 4 inches of ribbing and then folded the brim over to start the main body. I did not log the yardage of this handspun skein when I put it in Ravelry so I really don’t know what I am working with. It is 120 grams total weight and therefore I should be make a decent hat size?

Maybe I just need more Diet Coke!? Happy Knitting!!

  1. Playing yarn chicken is a little scary when you aren’t sure of your yardage, but 120g of a bulky should be enough, and there will be decreases at the crown :). It looks toasty warm :). I am getting ready to start a hat for my daughter out of some red heavy worsted weight yarn I spun. I should have done it in the fall, but my anxiety has been extra bad this year and then in Jan I was very sick for 3 weeks, sigh, but she can still use it for the next 2 or 2 1/2 months here yet.
