Woo hoo! A few firsts!
First finished project of 2005!
First hat!
First project with seams!
I started this hat in a moment of desperation, just needing a simple project to bring with me to the SnB, so didn't actually hold high hopes for the end result. Though it may not seem so from my blog postings, this was actually a pretty quick knit -- finished in about 3 sittings. I added the pom poms to give it a little something extra and am quite happy with the result. The added bonus is that it fits! Perhaps I'll even wear it.
It was rather fun to knit. The seed stitch and rib are two great things that go great together. I will have to improvise other projects out of this stitch. I think it would look great in a slightly fluffy yarn with a touch more mohair.
ADORABLE! Makes me wish I had gotten Pattern-a-Day instead of Origami-a-Day calendar! hahaha :)

Now you can join the Red Hat society! Is that a purple shirt you are wearing? Don't go spending all your pension money on brandy! har har. No, it is lovely. I think I need to make one too.

That is a really nice hat--and I love the photography. I have that calendar... maybe I should get down to work!

Love the hat! Wish it were cold here so I could wear something half as cute...
