Notes

I need a hat for the opening of the Harry Potter theme park! So I’m incorporating the intarsia from the Golden Snitch hat.

This pattern is very well written and easy to follow.

June 7: Already done with the top of the crown and ready to start the colorwork!

June 18: Finished while in line for the park! I bound off around 1:30pm, somewhere around the Popeye water rides. When I put it on, people in line around me applauded and one of the girls in front of us in line took my picture. :D (I think I measured my head too loosely, so the hat’s a bit baggy, but hey -- that means it covers more of the back of my neck!)

June 19: Interviewed by a reporter from The Boston Globe and photographed after I told her that I’d finished the hat in line!

(32 grams of Bambool used for the body of the hat; ?? for the Snitch-to-be-stitched-on-later)
