Just finished this hat, Iberis. It was such a fun knit, made out of Madeline Tosh Merino DK. There are a variety of options to choose from in the pattern - size, stitch combo, length. I chose the large size and the men's stitch pattern. I wanted it to be slouchy, but found the directions called for a REALLY slouchy hat. I knit mine to be about 23cm long and then did the decreases. I LOVE it. It turned out great and the stripe of diagonal mock cables is so striking. I never say this, but I'll probably make this hat again. I might even make it for Pinky, if he's lucky :)
Hmmm. I, of course, have plenty of things already on the needles that I need to finish, but I want to start something fun soon. I bought some neon yellow Manos del Uruguay to make another hat and hope to find some fur-like yarn in mink color to make a pom pom for it. I will probably work on that first, but am looking at some options for projects after that:
This cowl is gorgeous. It would make a nice gift.
I'm in love with these. No pattern, but I think I can figure it out from the photos. SO lovely.
I still love this, too. Wondering if I would wear it much...
I've also been love loving this for a while now. So pretty. And not the full commitment of a whole sweater.
So many pretty choices. Maybe I'll just keep looking at patterns instead of actually getting started on something. :) Seems to be my favorite part of knitting, after all!
