There are so many things I want to knit for myself, but I decided a while ago that I was going to give knitted gifts to all the guys on my list. Hanukkah falls really early this year, so I don't really have time to change my mind.
So, hat number 1 is almost done:
It's the Turn A Square Hat by the ever-popular Jared Flood, who blogs at Brooklyn Tweed.
It's a great pattern, fast but a truly lovely finished hat. I'm using the yarns he calls for: Cascade 220 for the solids and Noro Silk Garden for the stripes. Noro is SO expensive, so it's nice to use it as one yarn in a project. I think I can get at least two hats out of one skein of each yarn.
Am I the only one thinking of the holidays?
I'm thinking about them, but have yet to start really knitting for them. So much to knit, so little time!
ReplyDeleteI also meant to say, your hat is great. That's a perfect guy pattern.
DeleteNope! I've started *thinking* about it, but I'm lucky . . . the list is fairly short and I've already got a start.
ReplyDeleteYour Cascade/Noro hat is really handsome. That's a lucky guy that will get to wear it. :-)
Cute hat. Nope you're not the only one thinking of the holidays, but unless things lighten up it might be a store-bought year, this year. Too busy!
