Winter Trails

Every once in a while my timing is spot on.  There's nothing like a new hat for fresh snow.

Winter Trails.  We have a major winter storm bearing down on us, and this pattern seems appropriate for the occasion.

Winter Trails is full of dense, cushy cables creating a fabric loaded with texture.

This hat has plenty of give and can accommodate a variety of head sizes and shapes.

The yarn is Dirty Water DyeWorks Clara, colorway Blue Me Away. Clara is a worsted weight, 100% Blue Faced Leicester yarn - soft and cozy.  This yarn comes in large, 250 gram skeins.  Winter Trails made only a dent in the skein, so I'm contemplating how I'll use the leftovers.  A new cowl sounds good right about now . . . 

This week I found my color inspiration in salt water taffy.

Pretty pastels.
