...journey of a hat, part two






This hat was great fun to knit.  The pattern repeat was fun.   It's my first hat that I didn't do a 2 x 2 ribbing.  It fits great and is cozy on my head.   The tassels were fun to make.  I had never made the kind that you twist to create, which makes perfect sense.  I purchased the pattern on Ravelry and you can too.  It is called Norby.  It's hard to put down once you start.  Give it a try.  It's fun AND easy.   Disclaimer.  It may not be as fun on commercial store bought yarn.  Just sayin'.

....journey of a hat, part one








Three ply.
It's more than blue.

Gave it a bath.


Hmmmm, it left a little color in the water.
My new favorite thing!   I have learned to make a center-pull ball of yarn. 
It is fantastic!  Your yarn doesn't roll all over the place.  It just sits nicely next to you while you knit away.
