Although teejtc beat me to it, I thought I would show off my Habitat hat as well. I thought the pattern was awesome, and worth the challenge of following a chart. All in all, probably about a week of pretty light knitting.

I started this pattern this

I started this pattern this week. I find it very diffficult following graphs and I really have to concentrate to not miss stitches. I wrote the directions out and that helps. I guess I will have to knit this hat in solitude as when I go to my wednesday night knitting circle I can't follow a pattern and talk!

I have never tried hats but this one and teejtc's may inspire me. Problem is I don't look good in hats but this one may be an exception - because even if I look bad the hat will look fabulous =P

Thank you very much! It was so enjoyable to make. Are you still spinning? It took less than 200 yards of worsted weight yarn to make.

Thanks Andy! Burnt orange

Thanks Andy! Burnt orange and its variations are my current favorites. And the photo doesn't show it well, but there is some "hand dyed" looking variation in the yarn which I love.
