Pattern: Octopus Beanie by Cathy Dobson Yarn: Hawthorn and Thistle Farmstead Jacob Lambs Wool in Natural Gray and Blue Needles: Size 2.5 DPNs and circs When I saw this pattern, I had to make it. The sample also happened to be in the two colors of the yarn I was looking for patterns for, so

I swear the sleeves on sweaters using this yarn are cursed. I was really trucking along on this (the Moments sweater) – had finished the boring parts of the body, and decide to dive into the sleeves.
