old hats

When I started knitting, I bought good quantities of yarn (this has become, with time, a problem: I love yarn, and my stash has grown quite a bit!).

Anyhow, after the first scarf I discovered hats, and that was real love!

I always knit different hats, with variosu new things everytime: sideways vs in the round construction, in one or more pieces, with different textures and stitches. 

So it happens that I might knit different hast with the same wool, with cotrasting results:

This one, from the book folk hats, was ne of the first I made. It didn't come out as  expected, still I learned how to pick up stitches. It was foloed by this, by the great Elisabeth Zimmermann
