Seized by yet another project

I was so sure this one was going to work! I started a hat from the top, and it seemed to be working all right. But now I realize I increased too fast, so it won't lie flat at the top. It looks like an unmade bed! Or I should say it looks like a perfectly-made up dog bed, with a rug on it, pawed into what the dog believes are comfy lumps.

Well, that seems to be how my hands learn sometimes, knitting something, frogging it (thank goodness for yarn winders!), trying again, taking notes so I don't have to try the same darn wrong thing twice.

I can't show pictures. If it ever works out, it's supposed to be a surprise!
