So I decided to gauge down the baby hats that I'm making for friends and family that are expecting new bundles...The hat was a little too big, so I went from a US10 to a US6.... the boots are a US8...I'm using the softee baby in blue right now...and it's the Glamour-Baby's Hat from lionbrand.com. If you sign up for their site they have a ton of free patterns.
**So you don't have to learn the hard way...
When a baby pattern says ( ) many balls for a project, check the yardage. I did not and bought A.C. Moore balls and now I have more baby pink yarn than I know what to do with....
I've also learned a lot about dye lots, I wanted to use this Baby Cashmere in Carnation. I needed three so I didn't use it, and then I found the same yarn at my local store. Bought it, not a match....I really don't know what to do with all of that mess right now.
On a non-knitting note: I drug up all of my winter clothes from the basement, and did the fit / not fit game. I'm much pickier about my sweaters now that I'm knitting...I'm not even close to making my own yet...one day...
