And Then There Were 60
Over the past few days since Christmas I’ve been hibernating. It’s dark, and cold, and it’s cozy inside where I’m organizing things…cooking a bit…and knitting a lot.
Here are the hats that I’ve made over the past few days. They have been made in preparation for the kickoff of the FIRST robotics build season (Jan 7th). Our team is growing, and as such the new heads need new hats!
Hat #56 was started earlier in the month, but finished in the past few days. The robot and number glow in the dark.
Hat #57 is a very stripey hat with bit of glow in the dark yarn in there somewhere.
Hat #58 is a little special. It fits like a bucket hat, or a cow boy hat depending on how you fix the brim. The brim is worked as an attached i-cord over a wire, so the hat can take on a variety of shapes. This was a bit of an improvisational knitting task. The original cast on edge which was going to be the brim ended up close to the crown of the hat. Fingers crossed it will fit properly!
Hat #59 is a more traditional hat, like the earlier versions…with robots knit right in.
Finally, hat #60 is knit in more subtle colours to suit the intended recipient.
I’m very much looking forward to handing out these hats on kickoff day! For more information about our robotics team check out the K-Botics website and read the blog.
