May I present my version of Fat Cat Knit's Floppy FairIsle Hat. Emily has claimed it as hers, it still needs to be blocked but at least the ends are woven in!
I used Ginny's fiber as well as her pattern. I did simplify the pattern as I used just two yarns, the neutral is her varigated BFL and a blue/brown mix. It makes it look like I used multiple skeins to achieve the look. But it is just 2 yarns. The handspun is beautiful and soft. I'm thrilled with it. I'm planning on making up some kits with the appropriate amount of yarn to make the hat. I have a couple fiber events coming up so I'll have them there and hopefully at Lila & Claudine's as well.
It felt good to finish some knitting, lately my projects have been big and slow...and I'm talking to you, Atalanta Scarf! This hat I made start to finish in 4 days and those were mostly work days!
I had to convince Emily that wearing a wool hat on a day that will top out at 90 degrees was not the best plan. But just wait until Wed, the high is supposed to be a whopping 60! Hats will sound perfect then.
