Green Bobbled Tam

Finished this over a week ago and finally uploaded the picture! This is the bottom.


And the top.

Pattern: Bobbled Tam, Vogue Knitting, Holiday 2008
Yarn: Cascade 220, light green mix.
Modifications: went up a few needle sizes (8) and was running out of yarn, so did not do as many repeats of the pattern at the top (not that you'd ever know). This was also the larger size from the pattern, so it's more floppy/slouchy than the picture in the magazine.
When I blocked this, the yarn bloomed a lot! I used a plastic plate to help it keep it's shape as it dried.
Haven't had a chance to wear it yet, as it's still way too warm here for hats. Not to mention socks...gloves...sweaters...well, you get the picture.
Hopefully I'll get off my butt and take a picture of the canopy cardigan one of these days!

Beautiful work!

It is getting cold here. We moved to town today and I miss the lake already. I hate moving with a passion. I have a ton of things to put away, but on the pc instead. Fall is here with winter on its heels and wanting in badly! I just hope we don't get another 210 inches of snow this winter!

Love reading your blog.
