I tend to make things much harder than they really are though, or that is what my piano teacher told me many years ago. I have read just a little about these mosiacs, etc in magazines. The knitting world is still holding my interest, especially when I see so many beautiful things on blogs, magazines and books.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04373560689980768576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810714864765099820.post-26117564977408760842009-01-17T20:02:00.000-05:002009-01-17T20:02:00.000-05:00I love fair isle patterns especially snow flakes. ...I love fair isle patterns especially snow flakes. I knitted a blue fair isle jumper covered in snow flakes about forty years ago and I still have it. Can't bear to thor it out. Took me months. <BR/><BR/>Have to say I've never knitted a hat where you start at the crown. It probably would be easier to do it from the white edge and then decrease.<BR/><BR/>You would have holes if you wrap the wool over the needles to increase but you can't see them in the photo.<BR/><BR/>I might have a go at that mosaic idea, I've never done it but sounds interesting. I do like that pattern but I'll have to look up how to convert the needles to get the right tension and wool.<BR/><BR/>I must go to bed, it's after one am! I never was a morning person.<BR/><BR/>Best of luck with the knitting and the weather.Winifredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12415302188575538163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810714864765099820.post-79814672566725609082009-01-17T13:35:00.000-05:002009-01-17T13:35:00.000-05:00I don't know, babe--it SOUNDED smart.

At least I think I did. Last night, I lost my keys in a snow bank. I should attach my hats to something important and maybe then I wouldn't lose them. One of the hats was my purple seed stitch beret. Sniff.<BR/><BR/>Sandy, I bought Romi's pattern and see I have A LOT of practice to even hope to knit the thing.
