just like this

My cycle is in a similar state to this hat. It might come back together quite nicely. And then again it might not.

It needs an extra inch in the middle

Yesterday Isabelle and I went to visit Amber, Ella and Arky. I gave Arky the first Simple Hat and he kindly tried out the moss stich flower version too. The moss stitch flower hat was too short, like an inch too short, so I came home and took a pair of scissors to it. My grafting isn’t bad. Well it wasn’t last time I tried - though that was quite a while ago - and I keep telling myself it will be worth it in the end.

I admit to being a lot less worried about the hat than I am about my cycle, possibly because I won’t have to wait until January to make another hat if this one doesn’t come good.

Isn’t Arky gorgeous?

“and took a pair of scissors to it”
Aaaargh…I wouldn’t dare to do so….I would have frogged it or knitted another one if I still had yarn left. I am curious about the results. If you pick up those stitches and knit, will you see the are going in the opposite directions?

You are much much much braver than I, I cannot even imagine taking scissors to anything I have knitted! I can’t wait to see the results. That little guy is just too adorable in that hat!

Damn, you are brave to just cut that up like that. Good luck with the hat, but more importantly, good luck with your cycle. From what I’ve heard, IVF is a bitch. I feel for you.

Hat turned out gorgeous. Lovely baby. :) I am awed that you were willing to cut it up, I’d have just knit another! I’m a chicken!

Thinking of you and your cycle.. hoping hoping hoping.

You have guts girl…I don’t think I would ever think of cutting it. But when you think about it, it’s the easiest option. You only have to knit a couple of inchs and your done. Good luck with the other stuff, I’m sending positive thoughts your way.
