My warm winter hat.
Friday, October 28, 2011 at 12:36PM Just popping in for a blogging fix. The last thing I need is to feel behind on something else so wanted to post this FO. Besides, it might get snatched like last year's.
The pattern is called Sarah by Mad'Laine. I should note that it is in French but there are English directions as well. I used Berroco Blackstone Tweed from my birthday bounty and really love the yarn (but it breaks easily if tugged). I envision reaching for this particular hat when I need to battle a windy day--the Blackstone makes a nice and dense fabric, yet it's not stiff at all.
My skimpy project notes are here. Not sure why I didn't write more--I absolutely adore the hat and the fit is perfect. Plus, it's fun and a quick knit. I was surprised how the lace pattern does not produce a lacey fabric at all...just great texture. I think it's pretty unisex but have yet to convince Charlie. Either way, I'm certainly making more.
Happy Friday! Sandra

So you actually expect to have cold weather? I'm beginning to think we will not have any this year. Love the slouchiness (is that a word?) and the texture.
Beautiful hat! A lovely birthday stash, as well; your circle of gift givers caught on very quickly. I loved your quote on the Plucky Knitter's give-away, so thought I'd come check out your blog!
I love the hat - can I bribe you to make one for me?
