Well, let's get on with the program. I knit something in August!
Project: Kitten's Awesome Winter Hat (ravel it!)
Pattern: Feeling Fuzzy from the Yarn Girls' Guide to Simple Knits
Yarn: GGH Soft Kid
Needles: Already Forgotten
The things I do for you, peeps. It was eight hundred billion degrees out when I took these photos, but do you see me? I'm wearing a hat and a hoodie to make it look more authentically cold out.
We're all lucky I didn't die of heat stroke getting that photo taken.
I'm going to come out and say this about the hat of awesomeness. It's awesome. I love love love love it. It's soft, it's warm, it's pretty, and it's a gorgeous color. It's a hat I would not think to buy, but would be pleased to receive as a gift. It's luscious. It makes me think of winter berries and snow and happiness. I am probably going to use the heck out of it too because it's just so versatile with my wardrobe. The only way this hat could have been better was if it had been knit in the round instead of seamed up the side. I don't know why the Yarn Girls had me seam it, but I followed their advice unfailingly.
If you get a chance to knit this hat with this yarn, do it. You'll end up with an adorably awesome hat.
Don't wear it in the middle of August heat though.

ah, the things we do for our blogs. ;) the hat is totally adorable. thanks for risking heat stroke to share it with us.
Very cute hat!
For some reason, hat patterns marketed to beginners insist on knitting flat and seaming. I personally think it's the wrong approach. I guess if you're going along the 'traditional' path, you'll knit a scarf first, so knitting a hat flat and then seaming is just the next step? Perhaps I'm over thinking it; I know Norah Gaughan loves to do everything flat and seam as well.
