Last time I wrote about shawls. Even an ode!
Ok - honestly, that ode wasn't all me. I wrote the words and Jen thought it seemed like an ode. I would hope if I were to write an actual ode, I would do better! Ha ha! So this week I will attempt such a thing, but start smaller. I give you...
A Haiku to Hats!
Needles move quickly
Work with sheep's soft, fluffy wool
Soft warmth on my head
Well, hmmm....that's more like a haiku to knitting. Oh well! Back to hats! I'm better at knitting anyway....
The other day I saw this hat I thought was so pretty and it's free on Ravelry!
It's Peachy Tea hat by Debbie Ford. It has a little lace and a nice turned up brim (I like brims on my hats) and a cute pom can be added. It can be made from any fingering weight yarn. The pattern uses a bit of fluffy yarn with suri alpaca. We have some in the shop by Universal Yarns called Penna. It would be perfect to pair with a pretty fingering weight.
Two hats I've had in my favorites, and perfect for autumn, are....
Hello Autumn! hat and
Love Autumn, both by Monika Ana.
Colorwork hats to celebrate autumn, my favorite season. You can find both for $5 on Ravelry. Hello Autumn! uses fingering weight and I think Shetland Lite would be perfect for this. Love Autumn uses DK weight, so maybe Herriot by Juniper Moon Farm would be lovely or locally dyed yarns are always a great choice.
Now I'm going to go find out what an ode is. Maybe I'll write one after all, you never know!
