handspun snail hat
June 20, 2009we are knitting this Elizabeth Zimmermann pattern for a little knit-a-long at the knitting group that meets at my yoga studio – and oops! i already knit mine. guess i’ll have to knit another.
size 13 needles
this handspun falkland yarn (stolen from the shop – there are still 2 more skeins if you want to make one of your own)
the 3 spiral variation done in 2 days. i had a very very hard time stopping knitting… handspun is addictive and this hat is super fun and bulky quick. we all know how fond i am of hats ;) i’m planning to wear this one with my bright red coat.
raveled here with more pictures!

Love it! Wow, the colours are great and the yarn is perfectly suited to the hat. I really need to get my hands on an EZ book, must check the library :)
So pretty! I love the handspun with that pattern.
GORGEOUS colors in that yarn, Cosy.
Love it, Cozy! I started my second with smaller needles an more concentrated tension. Thank you for posting. See you at Yoga Matrika :)
