Velociraptor Sep 2022 11:13am, 30 Sep 2022 59,991 posts	0 Velociraptor Thanks I should add that it's not mine because it's a 160-stitch hat and I'd have to wear another hat or two under it to get it to fit. But it turned out quite pretty. I've now rounded up all my part balls of sock/fingering yarn and am trying to find at least one of the eleventy billion 2.5mm short circulars I know I own. They're probably all in bags containing one and a half socks.
EvilPixie Sep 2022 11:19am, 30 Sep 2022 36,183 posts	0 EvilPixie I did mine at 120 stitches (teenage size apparently) and used 3.5 needles cos they were the first to hand! I have now located my "sock making bag" which has smaller needles in
sallykate Sep 2022 11:23am, 30 Sep 2022 10,401 posts	0 sallykate Always in awe of everyone's knitting! Maybe I should have a go; I did some as a child (my mum was always knitting) but preferred crochet. Any suggestions of good YouTube channels or whatever to get me started again?
Velociraptor Sep 2022 11:27am, 30 Sep 2022 59,992 posts	0 Velociraptor Whereas I'd like to crochet, but I've found learning as an adult to be similar to being a lifelong skier trying to get to grips with snowboarding.
