I finished my hat on Saturday and took it out for a spin on Sunday when temperatures were in the low 20s. The hat kept my ears nice and warm and happy. (I made the same hat in a different shade of blue for my dad for Christmas.)
We anticipated a major snow storm for days leading up to a disappointing overnight downpour of rain and sleet followed by a bit more than an inch of snow Saturday morning.
The snow made things pretty but the ice left the roads treacherous. (Side roads rarely get plowed here in central NC. We generally wait until temperatures climb above freezing and for things to melt.)
Now on the needles is the same hat pattern but in green. This hat will have a Harry Potter color scheme in it. I'll share more when I'm done.
Pattern: Bankhead on Ravelry
Yarn: Rowan pure wool
Have a wonderful day! Patty
Nice hat! I'm going on a 5 hour road trip tomorrow and need some hand work. Hmmmm. I'll have to check out this hat pattern! Enjoy your day! XO
ReplyDeleteI'm just getting back into knitting....I love the little sock stitch keepers, I'll hav to look for them. I've never seen anything like them!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty hat! We have been seeing more ice than snow this year too, way too much mud also!!
ReplyDeleteThat blue is a great colour. Reminds me...I think I have a hat, or two, that I started but never finished........
ReplyDeleteI love knitting hats as they work up relatively quickly and use up leftover bits from other projects. I look forward to seeing your Harry Potter hat.
ReplyDeleteI was just contemplating knitting a hat for myself. I have made only one before for my husband. Love yours! Looks extremely comfortable and warm.
