When not knitting
February 06, 2006
I have been to Odessa
Pattern: "Odessa" from Magknits
Yarn: Gedifra Fashion Trend Fino, Colorway 5569, 1 ball.
Needles: Addi Turbo US 5
Cast On: February 2
Cast Off: February 5
Mods: I knitted the body and the rib with the same needles because i wanted a more fitted hat.
Comments: I just loved the pattern, it is very cleverly constructed with the perfect decreases to achive the tornado look. The only thing I'd change on this pattern is on the last beaded round: here you have to put the beads on the YO stitch, and I'd rather put it in the stitch before, so that the bead don't move and slide thru the YO.
I finished this during the superbowl last night and wore it inmediatly, luckly for me it's a bit cold right now so I can wear the hat without many people staring at me.

About me
Oh, I love it! I'm so happy you made one, I really wanted to see how it would look on someone with quite long hair, hehe :). Apparently it looks fab! About the last beading row - I went back and forth about where to put the beads, and at the end decided to put them as they are because it was a bit more symmetric, albeit more tricky to knit. Decisions, decisions! Anyway, your Odessa rocks, and would you like it to be in the gallery?
