Learning to Knit: Day Forty

Three days and I have managed to knit the brim and one pattern stitch of my hat. 17 rounds in three days that's less than 6 rows per day. I hope I get faster or this will take forever. Knitting with circular needles is still awkward for me. I am used to bracing the left needle on my tummy or leg. Sometimes it is hard to move the stitches up onto the left needle. They seem to catch. I like how it looks so far but I think a stiffer yarn would have been better. This yarn is so soft and pliable I don't think the cool segmented effect of this hat will show very well. It will be a nice soft and warm hat though so I am still happy.
