Fitting, then, that I have TWO hats to share this week-- both knit from my own pattern! I finished the first one near the end of May, the second on Sunday.
Self-striping stripes show few signs of loosening their stranglehold on my knitting imagination-- these hats are truly addictive. Also addictive: compulsively checking to see how many Ravelers have favorited or downloaded the pattern...
In other news, it hit 95 degrees in Portland yesterday. I have never been much of a summer knitter, and after yesterday, I'm glad I chose hats for my year-long knitting project... rather than, say, afghans or wool sweaters!
*Though it was difficult to knit through the tears I shed watching my back-up husband-- otherwise known as Roger Federer-- lose again to Rafael Nadal.
I love this design and Chroma is PERFECT for it! I can't believe you knit so many hats this year so far! Amazing.
ReplyDeleteFun hats, love the colors. It was heartbreaking seeing Federer lose to Nadal again.
ReplyDeleteI have just read through your entire blog and am seriously surprised I didn't find it before now. I LOVE the stripey hat design (and the blog too, in case the read-through-in-one-sitting didn't make that clear ;) I hope you're still enjoying knitting hats. I've been on a serious hat knitting kick for some weeks now, and would recommend Woolly Wormhead's blog for inspiration, in case you need it.
ReplyDeleteI would have loved to read the post about veganism you mentioned writing and then deleting. Although I do understand the deision to leave that out.
Happy knitting!
