Again with the Jollyfish...



I finished the knitting part of my hat. I started the duplicate stitch and I think I'm happy about the decision to do the duplicate stitch instead of fair isle or intarsia in the round. It looks neat this way. I hope it isn't too small, I hope I didn't start the decrease too early just because I was impatient. The boy will be home soon, I do know that it was comfortable around. And I have a lot of colors of this yarn, it's a Plymouth yarn. Sport weight. Now I know my gauge in the round on it, and I like the way it looks on the 1's. There are probably a lot of fair isle gloves in my future using this yarn. Only down side is the dark color was hard to see any mistakes, and any gloves I make will probably be in darker colors for the guys. Even the duplicate stitch is a bit difficult unless the light is shining right on it.
