Hi Jessica-Jean, I just downloaded your pattern and with your permission I will relabel this for my own personal files as "Jessica-Jeans Mitred Baby Hat. If it isnt ok with you, let me know.
Like I told you in a pm, I dont have a single inspiration of creating something when it comes to knitting except the dishcloth. I just cast on stitches and planned to do a simple garter stitch until my Mom told me that I had to do a pattern in it. So every few rows I through in some stocking stitch rows. It washes dishes just fine. I find that I do need a written pattern in front of me to start knitting on something. The socks really arent complicated and I just use my books to check the number of cast on stitches for my yarn weight. Having said that, I still need to follow a written direction every time I kitchener the toe closed.
My creativity in the knitting department is coming up with my own stitch mistakes that require the frogs to come out. Oh yeah, I choose my own colors (if that counts).
Some people are gifted and can vision the number of stitches and when and how to make stitch patterns. Elizabeth Zimmermann was one such person. I would have loved to spend some time with her. She claimed she only wanted to do something easier and so she came up with the Baby Surprise Jacket pattern! Her daughter Meg Swanson also has the gift of writing patterns and has come up with beautiful cardigans and sweaters.
How fortunite for those like me who simply cant come up with their own pattern but must find and get a pattern at the store.
