Mad Hatter

 
I've gone crazy for hats lately.  

I've gone through stages in the past where I have worn hats daily, but I suppose not since I took up knitting.   I love love love my Snapdragon.   The great pattern combined with the gorgeous green "seaglass" Tosh DK is the kind of thing that elicits compliments from random people on the street. 

There are so many wonderful patterns about and the quick turnaround suits my mood these days.

I finally got around to blocking my November Leaves and Star-Crossed Beret--pics to come.

I had a skein of Malabrigo Rios in "Piedras", so I stitched up The Big Easy, a cute, yet simple and quick project.  

 
 
 
And the Malabrigo Rios!  I don't know if I like it or Twist better.  They're both so wonderful--no need to decide.

Over the weekend, I started yet another hat!  This time it's Climbing Cables.

I'm using Classic Elite Yarns Fresco in "Bittersweet".  I love the soft orange-y glow.

I'm still eager to knit Lara from the current Twist Collective.  It looks kind of complicated for a hat, but I'm game!

I'm also looking forward to "Skinner Hat" (love me some leaf lace) and Tetsubou, both of which I can knit from stash.  Oh, and Fenimore!  Another excuse to knit with Brooklyn Tweed Shelter (which I don't appear to be allergic to after all--yay!).
