Silver Hat

I want to thank everyone who left such thoughtful and helpful comments on my last post about finding balance. It's somehow comforting to know that I'm not the only one who struggles with it. The overall consensus seems to be to do what you feel like doing when you feel like doing it, if it's knitting today, drawing tomorrow, that's fine! 

I've got a new hat to share with you today. I knit this hat as a sample for my booth at the Knitter's Frolic last month. It's my Cabled Canuck pattern knit up in the new Orange Label yarn in the Shadow colourway. This yarn is so incredibly soft and silky (obviously, since it contains both cashmere and silk!) and in the shadow colourway it really looks like silver. I love it!

This hat uses just under 1 skein of yarn and is the perfect project to try out this amazing base. I highly recommend it!

  4. This hat makes me want one right now, despite the fact that it's hot and humid in TO. The colourway is amazing, the stitches look so plump and cozy. Love, love, love it all!

  5. I am SO in love with this hat and the Orange Label looks so scrumptious! Wonderful pairing of yarn and pattern. Maybe I'll be able to grab some in the Etsy update tomorrow to make one of my own!
