I'm totally in love with this hat. I didn't think I would enjoy the intarsia as much as I did and it brought back fond pre kids memories of when I used to knit things that required more than basic thought.
The pattern is The Whale Watch Hat from New England Knits
Once I have cleared my WIP list a little I will make another for Mandy, however she has requested pink whales. We are still in negotiation on that front.
I also finished this top. A quick simple chunky knit with dolman style sleeves. It was meant to also have a high standy up collar but it didn't look right in this yarn so I attached an icord instead. I may still make a matching cowl that I can use and a fake collar when it suits me.
The pattern is Bond With a few minor tweaks and the yarn is Woolganics 16 ply that I dyed myself. Couldn't help but notice that they are having a sale at the moment too, just in case you feel the need to feel how buttery soft and wonderful their yarn is for yourself.
**just thought I'd add, those jeans, size 12!! Haven't been able to say that for a looong time.
