Notes

Started this day before yesterday. The pattern and the yarn arrived on the same day so the only thing I had to do was order 3.25mm tips for my needle set as, of course, that was the only size I didn’t have!
So, I was able to do the rib with my 3mm needles and the 3.25 arrived yesterday. I’m not getting gauge (as usual) but, it’s a hat…so, I figure that I can block it to the size I need whatever happens.
I picked the colours that remind me of Spring on the Ligurian coast in Italy. Perhaps I should have used Horseback Brown rather than Gloamin’ but I was also thinking of all the rich colours used by Kaffee Fassett.

Finished this and soaked it last night so that it would be dry this morning. The hardest thing was to finish the very top, I wish that I had thought not to break the yarn between row 55 and row 59 as I was using the same two colours there and the circumference was so small I could have easily carried them up.
Love the texture created by the purls and the ‘spongy’ feel of the finished fabric. :).
