Pattern: Agathis by Agata SmektalaYarn: I Knit or Dye Killing Me Softly Aran in Natural WhiteNeedles: Size 4 and 7 circs and Size 7 DPNs I’m really annoyed with myself. I picked the wrong yarn and/or needle size, and this is too big for me. But it’s really nice hat, so it’s not worth

Here’s part two of the great BIL hat-a-thon (if I get this one done in a timely manner, it might become the great BIL and FIL hat-a-thon). This is Bough by Leila Raabe, also in Classic Elite’s MountainTop Vista. This time in the Seal colorway. (I think I’d initially
Pattern: Brezel by Svetlana Volkova Yarn: Classic Elite MountainTop Vista in the Peat colorway Needles: Size 5 and 7 circs, and size 7 DPNs I really enjoyed this hat – perfect level of interest in the pattern (even though I did have a pick a few rows apart a couple different times because I flubbed
Next project, if I can pull it off in time (which I should be able to do), is to knit hats for the two BILs, in time for Christmas. I have two colorways of Classic Elite’s MountainTop Vista yarn that are perfect for manly hats. (It’s natural colored wool, and the two colors
