[knitting] Slytherin Ribbed Hat

While I wait on brown yarn to finish my Starfall sweater (I did find one ball and it's on it's way), I wanted a filler project to work on. I grabbed a ball of Elann Pippi Longcolors (now called Impromptu) worsted weight and cast on for a simple ribbed hat.

Perfect Slytherin colors.

The yarn is okay. I did find a knot but thankfully it joined similar colors. I have many more balls in different colorways- I think I'd like to try a stranded pattern with this yarn next time.

I cast on 96 stitches with US 7 needles and worked K2P2 rib.

I found my missing ball of Cascade Longwood Sport in white and have enough to make Cthulhu mittens to go with my hat. In a little over a day, I completed one hand (sans thumb) and started the second. It's been MUCH more fun knitting than the above hat.

I've got a short work week this week. I'm taking Weds-Fri off (wooooooooo). I'll be doing as much Thanksgiving prep work as I can on Wednesday. We have to try to eat everything in the fridge over the next few nights to make as much room as possible for all the leftovers. Mmmm... Thanksgiving leftovers...
