Putting a Damper On Hat Season

Although we’ve been enjoying the string of near eighty degree days here in Michigan in Mid-October, I refuse to let the weather spoil knit season.  I know what you’re thinking “enjoy them while you’ve got them, it’s going to be a long winter”, and I am aware of this, but nothing beats a cool, crisp fall day (even if winter is looming around the corner).

So, with complete disregard for the weather around me, I will continue to take out my hand knits and wear them with pride.

You may remember seeing this hat on one of my Ravelry Roundups back in the Spring.  The pattern comes from my good friend Jill Zielinski (aka Knitterella).  I knit this beaut’ up in a few hours one evening back in the spring (yup- before baby mobility changed things for us)- such a satisfying knit for one evening.
