Twisted stitcher

After I posted my first meathead picture on the meathead flickr group, I got some input from other knitters who noticed that my stitches looked a little funny. Long story, but I finally figured out that I have been wrapping my purl stitches wrong, making knitting a little slower and the finished product a little, well, different. I'm not sure how long I've been doing this cause many of my older projects look fine but anyway, good to know.

So, it gave me a good excuse to try again, correcting my stitches. My second hat is a little, tiny bit bigger and a better fit overall. I really enjoyed this pattern. It only took one evening to knit and it's warm, comfortable and I like the look of it. It has a unique charm. I used a flower button to embellish it.
