Home ยป Koolhaas Progress
I’m making excellent progress on my koolhaas hat. It’s really fun to knit, so I’ve been cruising through it. I was hoping to try cabling without a needle, but that’s not working out. I’m using one of my short little needle tips from the Boye set as a cable needle and it’s not slowing me down much.
Two notes: (1) I don’t think this was the best yarn for the project. I used a Wool-Ease heather and it’s really “hairy” which is competing with the texture of the lattice pattern. (2) I think I need to be knitting this on shorter circs. I’m using the smallest from my set – which is supposedly 20”, but I’m convinced it’s closer to 16”. Still, it’s pulling the stitches a bit tight. I think those two factors are creating problems for cabling without a needle. No worries because I love the pattern so much that I’ll have plenty of chances to try again under more amenable circumstances.
So, here are progress pics. I’m almost ready to start decreasing:
