these are the hats that i feel like making in spring… perhaps because i first made up the pattern in spring. this is my most asked about pattern and i must let it slip, there are several hat patterns in the book based on it.
pushing through the soil hat
ingredients:
recycled sweater mohair
my hand dyed recycled sweater wool

solar rings tam

handspun silk/wool blend seen here

summer tundra hat

handspun bfl/silk/corriedale seen here
4 yr old-adult small – smaller and shorter on my size medium head. another of my favorite buttons. i’m totally wanting buttons again now that i’ve been using lots of my faves.
all three of these were made at knitting group on tuesdays. i often finish things up on mondays, and then by tuesday i have nothing on my needles so, working in the morning on something else, i grab yarn and needles when i’m on my way out the door and hope for the best. i’ve been on a handspun kick as of late :)
