Wool takes a long time to dry in the winter time...in the time it took for this hat to dry, I actually knit another ;)As always, all the gory details (and there is a bit of discussion on this one) over here.
The long and short of it is:
1) Fair Isle work is pretty
2) I apparently have issues with bell shaped hats
3) The proscribed decreases do not fit my head (or I have issues with float tensions)
4) I am now trying to decide if the not so properly fitted hat is suitable as a gift, or if I have needs to go pattern hunting again.
5) I apparently still have plenty of yarn to keep on attempting this :D Lets just say that my stash is rather healthy. Perhaps a little too much so.
Go read. And leave me advice :)
