Knitting in the Rockies

Last weekend, Matt and I went camping with some friends up in the Rocky Mountain National Park. It was beautiful... and cooler than the 100 degree temps down in Denver. While up there, I started a baby blanket that needs to be finished within a week or so for a baby shower in Minneapolis! So I'm working on it at home and on the commute up to Boulder and back (on the bus... not while driving).



I finished up the Nepali hat project. I think it was the fourth attempt at getting the top flat. And although it's not completely flat like I'd like it, it's pretty close and I don't think I want to take it apart again and try a fifth time. It looks pretty good. Now I have a pile of hats. A couple of them will be going off in the mail pretty soon.

OK how sad is it that I've lived here my entire life (except for that brief stint in Vegas in the last 80s) and I've never been to Rocky Mountain National Park???

If it weren't for your furriners going there, I think they would have to close it. {giggle}

I'm not sure this is exactly what you're looking for either, but it's another version of the flat-top hat.

Thanks Joe! I got pretty close with decreasing every other row. See the latest posting. But the pattern(s) from Doknitting.com look great.
