Too many photos of a hat
I'm terribly proud of this hat because it's my first official fair-isle FO, I'm not sure if it's technically fair-isle, well some of the rows are. The first and last row have 7 stitches in a row of one color and I was too lazy to look up on the internet how to twist the yarn in the back to prevent super long floats.
But overall it was okay and my tension on the floats wasn't too horrible. The pattern says to go to DPN's before doing the colorwork which is just plain silly. If I knit this again I'll wait to switch to DPNs until I need to decrease, it was way harder to keep tension across the floats when crossing needles.
It needs to be washed and blocked (on a toilet paper roll as usual) and have better FO photos but I doubt I will get around to that :P
I had big dreams of a cute matching cardi but now I am thinking I might just do that little 1 skein baby bolero which would look cute with it and wouldn't take too long or require much more yarn.

So darn cute. I was just looking at the baby bolero last night. You try it first.. I still have a sock that needs a buddy.
But really, that hat is so stinking cute!

That is adorable! I need to make one of those to go in my "grandma hope chest." That's the place I'm stashing knits for the grand child I may one day have.

I'm loving the hat! I wish I had had that pattern and had known how to knit when I was pregnant with my first who was an October baby!
