Hats off to Downtown Yarns
Inside Dowtown Yarns - they always have the best window displays
I finally finished my very first hat last night! I decided to take a knitting class (Hat Workshop) at Downtown Yarns, one of two of my favorite yarn stores in the city (Knit New York is the other one).
Although I didn't learn how to make a beret, I did learn how to use a circular needle...
... and double pointed needles.
At first it was a little intimidating, but after a while you start to get the hang of it.
It was a great class and will definitely look into taking more knitting classes in the future!

dag - that 5 needle thing looks dangerous!!! are you sure you don't need 5 hands??? you need to have hillsy model the hat :-)
Thats the kind of hat that i was hoping lola could make for me..
hey Camille! I wish, but it's not - I think it's just the picture that makes it look semi-cool. It's actually a very plain roll-brim hat =) that fits like a ski hat.
I'm currently trying to learn how to knit a hat like the ones that I think you're talking about... more like the picture here http://lifeflix.blogspot.com/2008/01/frustrated-knitter.html right?
Karen, it looks harder that it really is. But then again, I had a professional sitting next to me who could spot a mistake even before I made it. She kindly gave me a look or a nudge and said "no, you don't want to do that" =)
