I just got my first commissioned hat the other day.
I was at musical on Saturday, and I didn't have anything to do because I wasn't in the scene they were blocking, so I was just sitting in the wings knitting Everlasting (Which is done, by the way), and one of the girls asked me to knit her a hat. She said she's pay me, and I was like, "Sweet, of course I'll knit you a hat." I'm going to make Unoriginal Hat by the Yarn Harlot. I cast on tonight, but there's a problem with her chart (or with my reading of it) so I have to add ten stitches and go down a needle size.
But Katherine (the girl who wants the hat) asked me if I would seriously make her a hat today, which basically confirms that she was pretty serious about wanting one. I'm supposed to look at her coat tomorrow, but I already made up a swatch based on what she told me. Her coat's red and brown, so I just did three repeats of a 3x3 cable with a two stitch purl, 1stitch garter border, in caron simply soft Autumn Red and Chocolate. I held them together, and the effect is really lovely. I just hope she likes it.
