Do not be worried, there are at least some other 5 projects on the needles!!!
Anyhow, these are the last finished knits of the year, and to keep up with traditions, it's two hats.
I found the wool (Patons Wool Tweed DK) at Morrison and Sons in Melbourne, they were having a sale, and there was a $1 a ball bin. How could I resist? And so two hats were made quite quickly, as I enjoyed the "Knitting at the Botanical Gardens" meet (every third saturday of the month, from 11 on!),happily chattering along with amasing ladies. P read a book, and modelled for a hat, that I gave to one of the ladies.
First hat is Mr Tom's Beanie by Woolly wormhead.
It's a great free pattern, so just go here and grab it, and then do yourslf a favour and try another of her patterns, I'm a big fan of hers. Clear directions, easy hats, wondreful textures: never boring or disappointing.
The second hat is improvised, I had in mind Propello by WW, but really made it on the spot!
I cast on 90 stitches with 4.5 mm, made a k1p1 rib, and then worked 4 wedges of alternate stokinette and reverse stokinette.
I'm quite pleased with the result
It fits well
and I gave it to M who was quite happy!
