I have not been sleeping very well lately, so I decided to knit instead …

Seeing as I didn’t really know how to knit when I decided to knit a hat (again – I know, I know), it took quite a few swatches to wrap my brain around the two-coloured brioche stitch.

The other thing that was quite impossible was to locally buy yarn I actually liked. It was impossible to find the right colours In a quality that seemed right, and the people at the yarn shop I went to have not been supportive nor understanding when I told them that I wanted to get a specific shade of purple …

In the end I was too impatient to fetch the exact shade and type of yarn I had imagined and just started knitting. And unraveling. And knitting again.

Now it seems to be working just fine, so we will see. It might become a whole hat at some point.
