Clearly, I need to learn how to Crochet
I told my mom I'd knit her an Swedish Olympic Team hat after I finished the reindeer hat.* The problem with this, of course, is that the Swedish hat is crocheted. I have made 5 false starts and 1 very ugly knit hat that doesn't have the delicious bobbliness of the original nor the charm of the pattern that is the underlying basis of the hat.
Oh, it is ugly. UGLY. U. G. L. Y. Awkward ugly. So I'm starting again. I had an idea as I was internally eviscerating the hat as I finished knitting it that may result in a less ugly hat. If I wasn't going to an auction tomorrow, I'd spend the day teaching myself to crochet.
*Yes, I'm procrastinating a tricky mosaic problem like no one has ever procrastinated anything ever before.
