Here's my lovely model sporting the perwinkle blue toque, which I completed tonight.
It went pretty smoothly, though I dropped a stitch near the very end. I was able to kind of cover up my error as I pulled the whole thing together with the tapestry needle. Hooray for improvisation!
This toque was supposed to be a birthday gift for my girlfriend, but it's a bit too big. That's okay, though. It fits *me* perfectly and I have enough yarn left (in my STASH, of course) to knit up another, slightly smaller version for her.
In other news, the book I requested from the library finally arrived: Laura Chau's Sock Knitting: Teach Yourself Visually.
I'll be honest: So far, my head is swimming. I don't know how I'm going manage this sock thing. It's freaking me out.
