It's done!
I finished the hat!!! You remember, my first project using my brand new gorgeous indy-yarn?
Picture
I really like how it came out, even with its slightly unconventional shape… the fabric is quite dense because of the weave-pattern (which makes it very warm thankfully) and this allows the hat to take on different forms: so it can be worn either as a béret style hat (when pushed down at the back)….
Picture
….or - my personal favorite - in a more hipster style (when just crunched a little bit at the top)! 
Pardon my slightly crazy eye in this pic… I don’t know what was *that* shocking… :)
Picture
I did the ribbing with a slipped stitch detail and with diagonal shaping to keep it less bulky at the neck (since I always look like an idiot with either bulky & scrunched ribbing in my neck area or the wider part of the hat starting too high up)!
I think that the biased shape gives also a nice “turbanesque” touch to the whole hat (and keeps the top of the hat slightly lower & near the nape… a good thing when you wear a tall hat and you don’t really dig the smurf-look).
Picture
The weave stitch seems to be a little complicated at first, but one gets into the rhythm soon enough…
…and it perfectly hides the jog when knitting in the round!!!!

I started to make a hat out of my brand new yarn!!

I am very excited about this new project… I swatched a lot yesterday to find a pattern that will show off the subtle changes of colour in the hand dyed yarn and I think that I might have found it….

Anyway, just needed to share!
:)

    When I changed platforms in Fall 2013 I hated to leave my old blog and all the familiar posts behind... 
    So I did what everybody does when moving to a new space - I took my favorite stuff with me to make this new place a nice and cozy home... and more "me". 

    Well, here they are... this page is reserved for a selection of my blog posts of yore!
    (my only regret being that I could not take your great comments with me)
    You can still visit my old blog of course - it's here.
