I love my hat

I finished this a while ago, but took forever to take pictures. I have yarn ready to go for another one, I wear it everywhere! Only problem is, if I get too warm while wearing it, it's sweaty head city (which also leads to the oh-so-attractive hat-head).

I used two skeins of Cascade 220 in the 9412 colorway (I hate it when yarn companies use numbers for colorways!), size 10.5 needles for the main part of the hat, and size 6 for the strap. It's weird-looking when you aren't wearing it, since it's so long to create the bunched area in the back. It kind of looks like Marge Simpson's hair. The pattern is the Just Like a Peasant Cap, and it was quick and really easy.

I feel like a pirate when I wear it.

A knitting update

After frogging Lizard Ridge, because I just didn't like the way it was turning out, I've been chugging away on my Paintbox Kureyon blanket. Here are a few squares (I've done 7 so far, I think, and all are unblocked, hence the wonkiness):

I also completed an Old Shale Smoke Ring (and don't really care for it. It's pretty, but not on me)

I also finished a peasant cap, which I absolutely love, but haven't gotten a picture of yet. Soon though!

Non-Wordless Wednesday

I have been so bad at updating, but I have a bunch of baking and knitting things to update, so I'll have a few more blog entries up soon. Promise!
