Every few months I dig into the basket of projects in my living room and start finishing things in a flurry. I think of it as a cleansing process, similar to what I do when I move or when I clean out my closet twice a year and donate clothes that I didn’t wear that season. For two days I have been cleansing. With so many amazing sweater projects waiting to be knitted, I am feeling a bit stressed about the number of projects sitting around the house waiting for an hour or so of attention so that they can be done. Last night I finished the Inga Hat. As you may notice, it is a tad on the enormous side. Just a tad. I think I am going to embrace the largeness
and put a giant beanie on the end and wear it like a real hippy would, hanging off the back of my head. We have to work on Phil’s photo taking skills. He and the iphone don’t make pretty photos.
I also completed and blocked my Rusted Root. Very exciting! The sleeves aren’t as long as I wanted but I love it anyway. I used Debbie Bliss Cathay and the yarn is amazing with this pattern. It has just enough shine to make it pop and it feels lovely. Wearing it to work today!

The sweater looks lovely on you, and I love the hat too! I’ve had some experience with oversized hats, and sometimes you just have to laugh when they come down to your nose.

I had the same problem with that hat! I noticed on Ravelry that about half of hat-knitters experienced this; one person helfpully suggested starting the pattern at row 15.
