when it's not just a hat

Wednesday, January 22, 2014

Sometimes, so much satisfaction can be derived from the simplest of patterns.  I can't even begin to tell you how finishing this hat in less than twenty four hours felt.  I have made my share of hats.  I love them.  And I love how it feels when you give them away.  But this one seemed extra special.  Maybe it was the fact that I haven't had that quick of a knit in a while.  (Although, this pattern is even faster.)
Or maybe it was because my sweet mother sent me the yarn along with the pattern.  Enough yarn for two hats.  So that I can give someone a warm hug for their head and keep one for myself.  
The tweedy, stripy yarn was so great to work with.  A new color surprising me, knitting a subtle stripe into the hat.

Pattern:  Candide Sailor's Watch Cap (Love how they spelled purl.)
Yarn:  Berrroco Lodge
Needles:  size 10

A two hour delay this morning because of the temperatures dropping below zero.  I've been hoping for that email that tells us that they cancelled school.  I have my hot coffee.  Three sleeping children.  And a hat to knit.

Happy Wednesday!
