Felted Hat Disaster
March 1st, 2007 by JoyI thought I would share this knitting mistake I made last year. So that you don’t get the wrong idea that everything we make here at Crafty Daisies is “perfect”. I would even like to think that everything I make is incredible. But lets face it, not every project turns out great or even close to great. And that’s a good thing. Because sometimes my head gets big enough to almost fit into the hat you’re about to see. So let this be an example to you of what not to do.
Lesson 1: When knitting a hat, use a pattern or your hat will turn out like this.
“oh no it’s too big, I don’t think it will work. Maybe if I felt it…” she thinks to herself
Lesson 2: never felt wool knitted with acrylic yarn or you’ll get this.
Yes, the knitted pizza. It is flat as a pancake.
Lesson 3: use a freekin’ pattern, Joy!
PS. I’d like to also say, thank you all for your kind comments on our work. You make this fun blog worth while! We love you!!

Ohmygosh, I just almost fell out of my chair laughing! Knitted pizza, indeed! Thanks so much for putting such a smile on my face. They can’t all be prize-worthy projects, can they? :0)

Atleast the colors are nice. Maybe it could be a pot holder.

You are a riot! I have pizza envy; you should stick it in a box frame, add a little embellishment and call it a piece of textile art. Love! (Now I must find some of my mistakes- although most were frogged). =)

I love you for being so transparent. The ideas others are giving you are not too bad for the use of your “flat pizza” I still love you and I know you are talented beyond measure.

would make a great “base” or bottom portion/part to a hobo-style drawstring bag. either for fashion, (nice handle, appliqué flowers/bugs) or beach ready with long over the shoulder strap and lined in water-proof material…..
just some ideas,
i like it when a “mistake” forces me to be more creative: when it works! lol
