I have cinched every other hat I've made, and on one of my first attempts at this particular hat, I also tried cinching. I didn't like the way it looked - I think with this pattern, the shape of the crown is important. I have to watch that episode – thanks for the link!

It occurs to me that I'm starting to feel the same way about knitting looms as I am about Sculpey - both are marketed towards kids or towards people who can't handle (or are afraid of) the professional-grade materials/tools, but it doesn't mean that they <i>can't</i> be used for beautiful, artsy things as much as their "grown up" counterparts can. Maybe I just like to root for the underdog :-D I think I want to try and stop thinking of “needle knitting” as the “real thing” and instead see it as an alternate means to the same end.

No instructions though. I searched Youtube for vids on it and found a whole episode on Kitty Gritty that featured the looms and how to use 'em. They said cinching the hat at the top was fine and when I tried yesterday for my first practice hat it worked easy. A lot easier than decreasing I imagine!

I am a Knifty Knitter who is intimidated by the "real thing." I love my looms and find neat things to make on them! I haven't even scratched the surface with those yet so I'm not sure I'm ready to move on to needles. I still need to figure out how to do the "flat" stitch but so far I still love doing scarves in the round that it doesn't matter just yet. Haven't done a hat but I ought to try since I will be needing one soon! I love that you are obsessed like I get about a project, I do the same thing, though it's often weeks or months before it comes to fruition. Not a bad thing really, I don't think. <abbr><em><small>See what Pam has been blogging about: <a href="http://dieverdog.blogspot.com/2008/11/what-type-of-blog-do-you-have.html" rel="nofollow">What Type of Blog Do You Have?</a></small></em></abbr> I am SO with you on this one!
