After the fluffy wisp of nothing of the laceweight hat, I think I need something a bit more substantial for the next project.

This should do nicely.

Even if we are starting things off by having to do a little repair.

I always argue with myself about whether one tiny stitch left untwisted is really worth fixing…but it is.  Because if I don’t, I’ll stare at it ever time I reach for the hat…and that’s not a fair thing to do to an innocent bit of knitting.

Especially when fixing it is so easy.  It’s pretty much always worth doing.

Now all I have to do is hold fast and knit all the ribbing this needs…for I want a really deep brim on this one, and that means a lot of ribbing.  Send bribes.
