My latest handspun...

...has been claimed by my 3 year old daughter who wants me to make her a hat with it. She likes the sparkles. I'm very pleased with how it turned out. After this I'm off to search ravelry for a cute girly hat pattern for Katya! I got about 180 yards of DK/worsted weight 2 ply. It should be perfect for a hat; it's alpaca, merino, silk and of course those coveted sparkles, angelina and crystalina.

I've been wanting to...

...make this little beanie hat for almost 2 years now and I finally got started on it yesterday! I'm not really sure why it's taken me so long, other projects got in the way and it pushed aside. I have the perfect colors for it now to match my dark pink puffer jacket and navy blue sweatshirt that I wear in the fall and spring and winter if it's not too cold. I wanted a lighter weight hat that wasn't too hot for these cooler months. I really hate having a cold head and I like to wear hats and thought this one would be perfect for it.

I'm knitting with 2 strands of a fingering weight and I'm loving how the colors are playing with each other in the hat. I want to stay up and knit, but I must get to bed!
