Just a itsy-bitsy contribution



All done! Hurrah!

It was fun to make I will admit but it will be a long time before I make anything else this tiny. It's hard because you really have to look at every stitch as you do them. No watching tv and knitting. Also I needed really good light and an alert mind to sew it up. Then cable is only on the front, I tried to put on on the hat as well but it just didn't work out. For something so small, I frogged quite a few parts of it.

It's interesting to learn what works on normal size knitting really doesn't when working on something this small. For example, I originally did the garter stitch at the top in the same brown as the ribbing. (I should have taken a picture for comparison.) Trust me it looked way to heavy. I'm much happier with the look now.
