Here is the picture of your hat-- the color in the photo is pretty accurate. The rest are some pics from my aran Aran Knitting book. aren't they just great!
I cast off on this last night and did some initial seaming which I will finish today, I hope. Then I will practice picking up and knitting before I pick up and knit 3 rows on the base of the bonnet.
You appear to be a Knitting Adventurer. You are through those knitting growing pains and feeling more adventurous. You can follow a standard pattern if it's not too complicated and know where to go to get help. Maybe you've started to experiment with different fibers and you might be eyeing a book with a cool technique you've never tried. Perhaps you prefer to stick to other people's patterns but you are trying to challenge yourself more. Regardless of your preference, you are continually trying to grow as a knitter, and as well you should since your non-knitting friends are probably dropping some serious hints, these days.http://marniemaclean.com Take this quiz!
