My Hat (and some new yarn)...

My hat, based on the Father/Daughter pattern. I did a 4 x 4 ribbing for about 5 inches (I like a hat to cover my ears).

Yarn: Patons SWS (soy and wool) in geranium. 1 skein (just barely).

Needles: #7 circular and dpn.

And then I had to go back to the LYS. I like this store (as I've been back twice in two weeks, I guess so!). The lady who helped me loved the hubby's hat I took to show them and wrote down where I got the pattern! I like when that happens!

For another Hubby Hat (he wants a second one)! Cascade 22o wool, heathers, in color sapphire, it's almost more of a denim blue. (My poor basil plant!)

And for me-- the bottom skein is a Cascade , Ecological Wool, in chocolate (it's darker in person). The top skein is a Cascade 220 wool in a dark brown (I'm not sure of the color the label says "vandky", possibly Vandyke brown? I used to watch way too much Bob Ross.)

I'm going to felt a tote bag. The lady at the LYS said she hadn't felted with this yarn yet so she wasn't sure how it was going to felt. Has anyone out there in blog land felted with this yet? I've got a couple of patterns in mind, the Ecological Wool has 478 yards on it, plenty for a bag with the darker for the bottom, I think.

Still working on my Embossed Leaves socks, oh, did I not tell you guys? Oh, well, those are going great! I love that pattern, it just flows nicely!

Oh, and I got my invite to Raverly. I've got to take some time next week and figure that all out!

Anyway, have a great Thursday (check out the Dogs on Thursday blog). Ella says "hi" to all her doggy friends out there!
