Hey Lolly,

Meant to send this to you back in March. Your Penguins hat was such an inspiration that I made an OSU Beavers hat for my bro-in-law for his b’day earlier this year.

Hi Lolly,

Love your hats, love the blog!! I have a question. I know you’re super busy and probably won’t have time to answer this, but just in case…

I’m a beginning knitter, and I really want to knit the Penguins hat you made (in Oregon State colors). I got the book for the pattern, but as I am still new to the craft, I don’t quite know how to alter patterns. I want to do what you did – make this in the round (I also hate stitching hats together and usually only pick patterns that are knit in the round).

Your instructions were pretty clear but what about the decreases? Is there anything you altered for that?

Thanks!!

Yancy
P.S. Love your new vest!! So pretty!

How cute are you with those hockey backgrounds?? My hat trick for January will be three consecutive days with naps. It will be great! And maybe I’ll get a few rows of knitting done. ; )

I don’t think you need to create too big of a diversion from the sweater. I mean, it’s been naughty and it needs to go into time out, right?

Awesome job finishing the hats! The penguins one is especially great because you can tell Kris really likes it. It will end up being a classic, because it’s simple and right up his alley.

Is there such a thing as a double hat trick? You should go for one – you’re on a roll!

I can’t say I’m a fan of hockey (alright, toss tomatoes at me now) but I’m inadvertently headed for a “hat trick” for January as I cast on for my third hat this month today. How did that happen? I don’t know. Does it count that one of my hats was for a serious hockey fan?

Dear Lolly

I can knit fairisle but I cannot understand off sides in Hockey, or any sport for that matter. Now that the Blackhawks are cute and good, I watch the games with Fireman . he says i’d understand it if I could see the whole rink at once.

Is there a girl way to explain this?

I’d love you to.
