I decided to try to knit a quick baby hat to take a break from the WoW blanket.
I was sick all last week, so I made no progress.
Over the weekend, I picked up this hat again and was hoping to get the rectangles going and maybe finish the hat.

Alas! I cannot seem to figure out what I’m supposed to be doing!
I see the directions. I’ve read them a million times. I think I might have them memorized.
Pick up 15 stitches then knit 14 and k2tog(one from picked up and one from the sts next to the ones you’re working). I totally get this in theory, but once I pick up the sts, the working yarn never seems to be in the right place!
From one end, I think I should be purling and from the other end, I’d be k2tog at the beginning….NOT the end. Now, I realize only a couple of people seem to have tried this pattern, but I just have NO IDEA what is going on? I feel VERY dense right now and since I’m just getting over being sick, my self esteem cannot handle this blow right now. I’m posting pictures and I’m going to appeal to the knitting goddesses of the Internet. If you have ANY idea what kind of crack I’m on, I’d LOVE to hear from you! :)
