New found hat brim

Remrmbered one more thing I wanted to post. I learned a new way to make a really warm hat brim and possibly a whole hat. I'll have to do some more experimenting before I go that far. I do really like it though. Rather than just knitting 10 or so rows and calling it good or maybe design the hat to be folded up to get more warmth. This new found design does that for you so the part designed to keep your ears warm will do just that. Here's how. Cast on however many the hat calls for. Knit at least 10 rows of stockinet stitch (I think I did 12) purl one row, then knit one more row than knitted before. (in my case I did 13) then you will pick up the stitches from the cast on edge one at a time knitting the picked up stitch together with a live stitch (one that is on your needle)  I enjoyed the method. I did my first one on double point needle and it was a pain, but it looks cool.

Anyway that should be all.=]
