Men’s Figure Skating and a Hat
Occurance: Men’s figure skating, every jump & spin, or something cute they do. Those guys can be ridiculously charming on ice!
Yarn: Wool-ease Thick & Quick in claret. This dark plum-ish color is very lovely.
Needles: 10 1/2 US, 6.5 mm
Pattern: 3X2 ribbing, doing the opposite stitch at every occurance (purl at knit and knit at purl). I cast on 65 sts on 10 1/2 US needles. Decided on kitty hat, since it’s the cutest and easiest.
The ears on this came out larger than I expected, but this is the first time I’ve used Thick & Quick on a hat. They look a little more like fox ears than kitty. Still, very warm and fun to wear.
Now, on to figure skating. My favorite performances were Daisuke Takahashi and Florent Amodio. Johnny Wier was great, but his flamboyance gets so annoying. Not a fan. I’m from the US so I’m glad Lysacek won, but I kind of felt horrible for Plushenko. His body language after the results was so full of disappointment. Also, I think I have crush on Stephane Lambiel. Overall, last night was rather… unimpressive? I liked the pairs free skate more. Next up, ice dancing. I may game knit something for that was well.
