First Hat in the Round

I have only been knitting a little over 6 months (I think) so it has only been recently that I've ventured away from making scarves. Olivia and I took a felted vase class last month and that was a lot of fun. We learned to knit on double pointed needles. I was a little lost at first but then I got the hang of it. When we started knitting we had no idea that quite a few of our friends were also knitters. We started a Stitch n Bitch group and meet every other week. The bad thing about this is that now we've seen all the cool things we can make and that it's really not all that hard. Now we've become Knitting Monsters and can't get enough of it. I made my first hat on straight needles and it turned out okay but it had a seam so ever since then I've been wanting to make a hat in the round. I DID!!! I was so excited. I asked a few questions at the knitting store, used one of our books to answer others and looked at the handy dandy instruction pictures. I used size 8 needles and Cascade 220 yarn.

Here is how it turned out:
