Knitting stuff

tephraHere's a grab bag of things that are done or currently on my needles. Images behind the cuts, nine in total.
It drapes pretty nice, but you can see how it bulges because I forgot to consider the fact I was working from the center out.
Laid out flat. The color is a bit dustier than this but not as muted as the next photos.
Rolled up and tucked into itself seems to be the easiest way to deal with moebius scarves.
A decent shot of the all garter feather and fan stitch.
As you can see, there are problems with the ankle. I was a bit overzealous about making sure it wouldn't be too tight. It's wearable though, and if it's too loose I can always run some elastic cord through there. I made alternations to my pattern so the next pair should be better.
I've frogged this six times and I think I'll be doing it again. I just can't settle on a good width. It's going to be a moebius (knitted flat and then twisted and grafted end to end) and I want it to be long and wide enough to wear wrapped as a hood. The problem is I only have 3 skeins of the yarn and I don't think that will be enough to get the length at this width. I can buy more yarn, but it probably won't be the same dyelot so I'll have to work it into the remaining yarn I have to break up any subtle color changes. I'm going to finish knitting up this skein and see how long it is, if it's close I'll rip it all out and start it for the seventh time a couple inches narrower than it is now.
It's half a hat, not a bra. The pattern seemed interesting but it doesn't say how large it knits up so I'm using some of the worst acrylic known to man to knit it so I can figure out how it works and how big it is.
A close up of the stitch pattern, it's just a k2p2 rib offset one stitch every other row.
It would make a cool crown to a flat top hat, with minor modifications. The purl ridge ring in the center is an error in the pattern that I didn't bother to correct (odd rows are knit and they said to p2tog in row 27 when it should have been k2tog based on their photo).
This is more of that crappy acrylic so the cable doesn't show up that great. I also need to figure out what is causing that laddering between the sections, I think it might have been my stitch markers but I was also working on two circulars for the first time (not having DPNs of the right size or a circular long enough to magic loop).
Anyway, I have a couple charts for the hat version (taking the cable down the sides) with differing stitch counts so I have some choice in size/gauge. If I do make the hat and it works maybe I'll put up my charts. Since it's based on the Berroco snowflake pattern I'm waffling on that.
