11/14/15 Thanks to my awesome SIL for her hat modeling skills!

11/9/15 Done! I gave it a good wash and a little soak in conditioner and the yarn feels much softer. I will hopefully be able to get some better pics in natural light tomorrow.

Finished dimensions are about 20-21” around at the brim (unstretched) and about 10” from brim to crown.

11/8 #2 Done, ends woven in, and it’s currently soaking. I will block it tonight.

11/8/15 About to start the decreases. This is knitting up fast! So far I really like it. I don’t remember where I got the stash yarn that I’m using, but it doesn’t have a ball band and I really think it’s some of an old friend’s handspun wool that she gave me. I thought it would be a little itchy but it’s actually not. When the hat is done, I plan to give it a thorough wash and soak.

I used Tillybuddy’s very stretchy cast on (see my profile page for link).

Due 12/3/15
