This time it's Turn a Square. Knitted for Mr.C's son B's birthday.
I used the leftover Cascade 220 in black, from the ribbed hats, plus some Noro from stash.
The first cast on was enormous, with a cast on of 96 sts increasing to about 108, so I tried it on 92sts not increasing at all, still large (and Mr C has a large head) so I went down to 88 stitches. I was a little worried then that it might be too snug, but after washing and relaxing a bit it's just right. My tension was about 4.5st rather than 5 sts.
Now I have some bright blue Cascade 220 in stash and more Noro. Might be more of these in my future!
the hats look great.. I wasn't able to comment on previous post, for some reason. those hats looked good,also
these are fine forgetting the mojo working
