MIFA Love Cap 1 is completed



Oh, the joy (or the pride) of a finished project. I have completed the MIFA Love Cap 1, it has been carefully packed in a large ziploc in the yarn stash drawers. I used a scrap of yarn to tie on a tag with the charity, fiber and the size from a recycled index card. The caps won't be sent in until fall and I might not remeber which project, material ad size goes where. As you can probably tell, I suffered from boredom by the 26th row of the rib-all-the-way-up pattern and diverted to stockinette for a little more activity. The cap ended up being a little smaller than I intended so I labeled it a child-size cap. I simply continued up the cap until I thought I had the desired length and began a gentle decrease taper. It does look lonely in the bag all by itself. I still have about half of the skein left over so I will start another with a stripe and use up some other similar yarns as well. I am adding a link to the MIFA Love Cap blog here on mine for anyone interested. Time for a knit break!
