Goldilocks Hat

After three tries (one too small, one too large, and one just right) of this Interweave Knit fair isle cap, it felt so good to slide this over my braids and walk about, proud of the final accomplishment taking a little over a year, here and there... Then it got into my dirty laundry.

Now it's destined to be a beer cozy...

I can't wait for the post-Christmas-present-making recovery...

I'm not quite through all the pieces I intended to make for family and friends this Christmas. I should have penciled in more than a month and a half to make 20 gifts... lesson learned.

Super-uber-chunky cowl... DONE. (My own pattern)

Beginning of a simple fair isle hat... (My own pattern)

Chunky cable hat... DONE.

Preparing another skein to knit...

this hat was among the first to get finished.

Among the presents not quite finished, but getting there...

Next year, I need to come up with a better game plan...
