when i took a step back
and looked honestly at the progress of my nomadic nights slouch
i could see it was a good idea gone sideways.
the three very differently textured yarns
that i had chosen so they would
pop individually,
blended together until the personality of each fiber was lost.
ugh. time for plan b.
i lovingly rewound the original skeins for another day,
and began again
with three
muted shades of
this is big, squishy
bulky at its
best.
still enjoying holly‘s pattern and now i’m so liking
the finished hat as well.
i guess that since
the snow
refuses to hear
my pitiful cries and stop,
that i might get quite a bit of
wear out of my new
slouch.

I very much like the shape of this hat. The sides come down to cover ears fully, the lack of which can be the downfall of a hat in cold climates. I love your colour choices too! It’s very becoming on you, Tal. Will it remain yours…….. 🙂
ha. my 15 yr old took the pics of me in the hat and then promptly absconded with it. i would have protested but 1. it would be fun to knit another one and 2. at zero degrees she’s finally wearing a down filled vest (no coat), so if she’ll wear a hat, it’s hard to say ‘no’. smile.
You have to choose your battles! 🙂 I knew someone would sweep up that gorgeous hat. Girl has great taste!
