Hatopia

  Originally uploaded by goingdomestic

Since packing up in St. John's, all of my knitting time has been spent on quick low-commitment projects. Hats, really. I've finished four in the last two months. These are the most recent three, and I wish that I'd picked more challenging patterns for them, but I guess that I can say that I've had lots of practice with increasing and decreasing. I think that the berry hat is the most successful of the three, but hopefully each of them gets some use!

I'd still love to knit the circular shrug, but I haven't any wool for it yet, and with moving from Calgary next week, I can't say it's in my future, either. The current knitted object of my affection is a lacey shawl from No Sheep, actually.  The pattern was originally worked in Handmaiden sea silk, which goes for something like $45/hank at my LYS. Currently, the thought that my expenditures on yarn should be proportional to my knitting skill level is what's keeping me from blowing all notions of a yarn budget ...

I love your berry hat... super cute! Which pattern did you use? I have been knitting a lot of hats now that it is summer and I have mastered the knitting in the round.
