Always so good to finish things. The hat I was working on was quickly finished up this week once I got to the decrease rounds. I could just post a photo of the first one I did, but I won’t cheat that way. I love this pattern. And a good thing, because I have one more to make. At least I will be making the 3rd one in gray, not cream. I also need to make it longer, so it won’t be exactly like the others, right?
So, that goal of not buying yarn? Now, in my defense, it only cost me half of the purchase because I had a gift certificate from my Mom. Anyhoo. So, I did plan on buying 4 skeins of Liberty Wool to make some hats, right? Well, I did buy 4 skeins of Liberty Wool. Just not the 4 skeins of gray wool I needed. I tried, but they didn’t have any gray! What did I do? I bought 4 skeins of a gorgeous orange to purple stripe. Sunrise, what an appropriate name. This may become a Wingspan with modification numbers. I have 488 yds worsted. It calls for 465 yds of fingering. There are notes from others who used worsted to make theirs. I will cull the best info and go from there.
But first, to continue on with the Milkweed Capelet I finally got past the cast on! 17 rows of seed st! Love the color, Regal, adore the yarn! Hoping this goes as quickly as the hat, but I seriously doubt that!
OK, time to make the rounds. Tami’s and Wonder are the places to be. Check them out.
Kudos for completing 2 cream hats in a row….hope your able to find the gray your wanting for the 3rd. What fun you’ll have knitting on that Sunrise yarn after the hat knits. Thanks for sharing.
LOL Oh well, you are doing well and that’s all that matters. I have made a pretty good dent in mine with the hats I made so I’m happy too. Can’t wait to see your wingspan!
What a pretty pattern! Looks cozy and warm.
This is GORGEOUS…love love love

I think you deserved a little indulgence at the yarn store as a reward for getting these hats done. LOL. I can always find a way to rationalize a yarn purchase.
The hat is beautiful. Wow! Have a nice weekend. Regula
Great hat! I’m not sure I could make the same thing three times in a row, even if they were different colors! Kudos to you.
What a beautiful hat! I love cables
The hat is gorgeous! The cables are just beautiful. Gift certificates are a free pass to buying more yarn, IMHO. The sunrise colourway was an awesome choice.
What a yummy looking hat.
Love the hat! I always hear people say that they are on yarn diets but I’ve never done that. I’m pretty good about buying yarn as it goes, so that helps. Looking forward to the modified Wingspan.
That’s a great hat. I think I’ve made a couple of those myself, one black and one red. I’m with you on not liking Lady Mary much. She’s a spoiled, narrow minded woman.
I wouldn’t have thought I’d be big on white hats. but I like this one. a lot!
