Last night we watched the second disc of the Two Towers. Love it! (Even though I still have to close my eyes at the gross parts). And guess what? I did some knitting yesterday! I’m so excited. There hasn’t been much knitting time recently, but yesterday, I finished the first sleeve to Lauralund, blocked it, and started that white hat I swatched weeks ago. I tried it on last night after a couple inches, and it makes a very cute headband.
I’m a little concerned about how it will look as a hat, mainly because over at Pieces of Life, Laura Marie made a two color hayden that she said looks like Epcot Center, and the stitch pattern I’m using might do the same, but I’m going to try it.
Yes, yes, I need to be working on the second sleeve to Lauralund, and Pete’s bag, but the needles for both of those projects are otherwise engaged, so I started something new. I should probably update the WIP section in my sidebar.

that’s pretty; i think it would look good as a one color hat, if you’re worried about the whole “epcot” thing. and, you could do a scarf to match…whole ensemble (?) thing.
eb tonight?

Oh yeah, it was the second LoTR movie that really got me too. Definitely my favorite of the three.
Love that little stitch pattern.

I like that stitch pattern a lot, and I think as long as you don’t go with sparkly silver you can avoid EpcotHead 🙂
Lest anyone think I’m not actually knitting a Hayden after joining, there will be an update pic on my blog tonight.

That is sweet how tactful you were to not say *you* thought my hat looks like Epcot Center. It’s OK – it does (these things take skill, you know 🙂 but we’re quite amused by it.
