Designing Hats



Since moving to Maine, I've been designing and knitting hats again.  My favorite yarn is fingering weight wool, especially 2/8 Maine Line from JaggerSpun, or Palette from KnitPicks.  The prototypes for a pine cone and tassel hat and a chickadee hat are completed.  Also, a Breast Cancer Awareness hat is finished for a friend who asked for one after looking at my Facebook album.  Now I've begun working on another one of my Spider hats in black, red and gray.  On Wednesday we'll be taking a trip to PA for a few weeks, and I find I want to take along my whole stash of fingering weight wool to knit from.  What painter would travel with only half of her colors?!  Or at the very least, I must go find my colored pencils...
