new hat

Ok, so remember my plan to knit this hat? Well, I knit it, then I frogged it. The yarn combo was too thin to make gauge and it turned out too small. I still recommend that hat (with the proper yarn), it's a quick knit!

So...I began again, this time using SouleMama's Favorite Hat pattern. You can get it for free in her left hand sidebar of her blog. Also a fun fast knit!

This is a very nice fall hat. It does cover the tops of my ears, but it is not as long or as bulky as my full-on winter hats. It's just right...

Of course I don't know what I am doing using the extended-arm-photography technique. (Got to figure out the auto-timer on my camera!) It was such a pretty morning though, I just wanted to mess around with some shots outside. Too bad my photo helpers already left for school!

By the way, your give-away comments are over the top! Who knew? :) Come back tomorrow for more news...

lovely hat.. its a shame my kitting pattern skills are totally abysmal.. honestly.. I can do a simple scarf, I make tons of java jackets/coffee cozies but put a pattern in front of my and my brain dribbles out my ears and things go horribly pear shaped.

obviously it dosen't stop me from buying and fondling yarn though! ;o)
