Finally, about time!

Remember I told you that I was quitting about my knitting toddler hat. I finally found a gauge size. It was US 5 knitting needles. So I am currently working on it. I will make two hats. One is for Wyatt=white and red; another one is for Emma=blossom pink and mild light green. I am so happy. I have to use english method. I love continental method. Because it is so super easy and faster than right hand (thrower). But I was realizing that some of the patterns can only work on either thrower or picker. So this toddler cap patter is working well on thrower (english method). I am fine with that. I am happy with both picker and thrower. My right hand is tighter than my left hand. My left hand is more loose than the right hand. I like tighter because it can go up one size if my gauge is not match on the pattern called. Because if I am loose knitter, I will stuck to dead end down size number. Knitting needles sizes from 0 to 11. If I got wrong gauge on an zero needles and I am stuck because it is only dead end. So I like do both hands to get correct gauge size. I will soon put the pictures of two caps on this when I am done with them.
