Finished Cthulhu hat, and some WsIP

Finished up the Cthulhu hat (and thanks to everyone who said they liked it - I feel like a total rock star! \o/) and gifted it straightaway (after doing some rudimentary blocking on my newly-washed hair). It's a little small, which is unfortunate, but it does the trick:

Finished hat!
(Please to ignore bad lighting and messy room, thx! :-þ)

The pattern is now linked on Ravelry, and lives at [info]sinsofthedove.

I also got sucked into the dark vortex of entrelac via the Quant gateway. I totally wasn't going to knit one, but I really wanted to try the Taos, and then [info]miraling was making one, and I couldn't resist. And it's sooooo cute. Seriously, if you're on the fence about this pattern or entrelac in general, give it a try! There's a reason everyone and their dog is knitting one. I'm really enjoying it. I'm hoping to finish it up before the holidays, and maybe make another as well.

Making progress

Also, I jumped on the knitblog bandwagon and converted my unused blogger account into a knitting blog. You can read about my exploits at allthisglory.blogspot.com. Or not. :)

Cthulu knitting of any kind is worthy of worship!!

Also I love that yarn in an entrelac pattern. So pretty!

I adore the yarn you used for Quant. I've got one of those in my queue as well! So pretty.

I can't wait until I am good enough to do the Quant, wow, that is gorgeous. Wow. First, my second sock!

If you can knit, purl, and pick up stitches, you are good enough to knit it. :) You also have to have enough knitting faith to get through the beginning, where it doesn't seem like what you are doing could possibly be right. My advice for entrelac is "if it doesn't look wonky, you're doing it wrong."

Ooh, I love that yarn you used for Quant--it looks gorgeous! (And I know what you mean about the "dark vortex of entrelac"--I'm on my third one.)

I love the hat! And I'm loving the yarn you're using for the Quant - it's adorable! :D

The hat is, as previously mentioned, made of unspeakable elder god win. As is the Quant yarn, although with slightly less unspeakable horror.

Ooh! I love them both! I'm totally gonna make something with little Cthulhus all over it. I'm thinking about a giant purse with Daleks on it... I'm sure I could mix and match my creatures.

The scarf is delightful, and now I want to knit one. What's the yarn? Yarndex results for "Taos" bring up Crystal Palace Taos... I don't know my yarns terribly well but I definitely want some of that. :D

It is indeed the Crystal Palace Taos...it comes in many exciting colors and works really well with the entrelac. The "scarf" is actually a headwrap, from Knitty.

Ohh... I saw the triangular bit on the end but didn't think to look up the pattern. Ah, laziness. Making me look stupid every day! It's still awesome, though, and I'm definitely going to do something entrelac with that yarn.

Nevermind my asking about the yarn. I'm normally not this ditzy, just sick and taking cough syrup with codeine in it. Whooo boy.

Wow. That hat is great! I guess I didn't see the post when I made mine about Quant---yours looks awesome! What yarn did you use?

That hat is awesome! It makes me think Atari Cthulhu.

I'm knitting the quant pattern right now too, cheating on finishing my xmas present knitting up, lol. I keep having problems when I get the section two. I have re-knitted that section three times, and I think I finally got it working on the third attempt. I really like the yarn you chose for it though, really nice colors.
