I picked up some of this cute yarn at the local big box store to knit a few hats. First, I knit a swatch at what I figured were the right settings on the LK150. I like the resulting fabric so I did some stich counting, measurements, math, and cast on.
I used instructions I'd seen on the Machine Knitting Beginners and Returners Circle to make the crown of the hat in four sections.. I only dropped a single section when working. I had failed to load the yarn in the carriage.
I sewed it up and it came out okay (even after I dropped stitches and had to pick them back up. The only problem was that it was too small. More of a child's size.
I promptly cast on another one. This time, I dropped stitches, again, and picked them up, again. I guess I need to be more careful when putting the yarn back into the carriage. I haven't sewn the second one up, but I have so many new ideas about crown shaping from this project.
Have you learned any new knitting techniques? Machine knitting, or hand knitting.
