Enough Slouch in Le’ Slouch?
By Sarah | December 9, 2007
When in doubt ask your knitty friends, right?
Just a few rows from finishing Le’ Slouch for M (which is something considering I was going to frog the whole thing because I didn’t like the decreases – but Ms. F loved the hat so finish it I shall….. that and I haven’t touched the needles other than to finish a sock in two weeks).
Question is – Do you think the hat will get a smidge more slouchy when blocked? Or, should I rip back to the increase section and add a few more? The fear I have in adding more sections is ending up with something mushroom like and, well, that is just not a good thing.
Coming soon to a stash near you:
Tea & Crumpets – Merino Superwash
Good Old Days – Merino Superwash
Lazy Day – Merino Fingering
Also new, for a limited time, I will be offering a few skeins of some bulky weight 50/50 merino cashmere in 100 yards skeins. Here is a sneak peak (these and lots more yarn, too many to attempt to mention here, will be available in the shop throughout the week):
Emilee – 50/50 Merino Cashmere Bulky 100 yards per skein
Evergreen – 50/50 Merino Cashmere Bulky
Snow. Just couldn’t resist having a yarn-y photo shoot in the fluffy white stuff that has been accumulating this week – it’s just so pretty and cozy. Remind me of this in February when I am clawing at the door, desperate for sun and warm temps.

I think that there is a good chance that it will get more “slouchy” after a good blocking. It is cute as is too!
Oooh, your yarns are so lovely!

I also think that it would become more slouchy after some blocking, but better be careful
Wished it snowed here instead of raining constantly, it has rained more in the last 10 days than in an average whole December month, bleh.
Lovely yarns as always !

I’ve seen slouchier Le Slouches, but I think I like yours better!
And anything in cashmere of course.
Love the new colors, esp Good Ole Days

I third the blocking. I think it will work. Looks great! The color is very sophisticated.

Lovely dyes as always.

I think you should give blocking a chance. It looks like you’re pretty close to being done anyway and if it doesn’t block the way you like then you can always rip later!
It’s looking fantastic so far! I love the winter white cream color!
