Maine Woods Hat

On Friday I was on a hat brim hump, but I got over that and kept right on going. 

Maine Woods Hat.  Stranded colorwork often falls into the just one more round category.  I hit the colorwork section and didn't stop until the hat was off the needles.

This design offers three sizes and includes instructions for both a folded brim and a regular brim.  I used a tubular cast on and followed the pattern as written.

The yarn is the Norma Bundle in the Vermont colorway.  There are several color combinations available on the website.

Event update.  The virtual version of SPA is happening this weekend.  I'll have more details later in the week.

The Way It Works

Color update.  I'm still trying to sort out my color choices from earlier this week.  I added to the confusion by dyeing a couple more colors to throw into the mix.  I'll ponder my options for another day or two.

I always need a hat on the go.  Since I had finished all my hats under construction, I cast on a new one.

This is Maine Woods Hat.  I decided to make the longer folded brim, but I'm stuck.  It's the same feeling I have when my truck is stuck in the snow.  I give it some gas, but I don't go anywhere.

With this hat, I keep knitting and knitting, but the brim doesn't get any longer.  I know this is a common predicament for knitters.  I'm sure that at some point I'll measure the brim, and it'll be too long.  That's just the way it works.

I enjoy winter and make a point to get out and about.  This week's color inspiration came from one of my winter walks.

Icy winter gray.
