Moss landing hat #1 - cast on complete

So managed to cast-on last night after kids went to bed.

However it did not go as smoothly as you would think! Pattern is using small circular cast on 108 stitches. So after digging out my smallest circular needle I started cast on. I then double checked pattern. I then re-counted my stitches. I then repeated the last two steps!

It would appear my smallest circular just isn't small enough, the stitches would not join. Therefore I dug out my old reliable DPNs and cast on with them. I managed to get to row 2 of lace pattern before bed called.



Tonight is 'knit night' I have texted a friend and am getting a one-on-one lesson on the magic loop technique as I think this might turn out to be essential to finish the book without going DPN mad.  I'll let you know how it all goes.

To be continued ...
