Yet another version of calorimetry

September 29, 2008 in Knitty, hats, knitting by Sarah

This is my version of calorimetry by Kathryn Schoendorf from The winter 2006 issue of Knitty. I realized after I decided to knit it that a very large proportion of the number of knitters on Ravelry have made one too (see here).

The gauge on mine was really far from that of the original as is the size (I have a large head), and it kind of makes me wonder how much you can modify a pattern before is is no longer that pattern, but I love the original and mine, and mine used the yarn I had.

The yarn was this one I spun myself, and I am very happy with it. I think I will always wear it with my red scarf because one of my mother’s best friends used to wear red and purple together, and I always thought it was the more glamorous thing ever, and in my heart I still do.

Kathryn was right — it is wonderful to have something to wear to keep warm with my hair up that is not those ear pocket things, which are ear muffs without the band.
