Machine Knitting

I picked up some of these Red Heart yarns at a discount store. 

I grabbed this bright yellow to make up a hat on the LK150.

While this yarn is a worsted, the content makes it a really stiff yarn. I think I knitted it at too small a gauge. 

I mean, it looks fin here, but this is definitely sized for a baby. I'll give it another go with some adjusted settings. I want it to work. And if it doesn't work? Well, I can always crochet a hat.
