I had BIG hopes of many projects during the Olympics (for Ravelympics)... but I finished my last project today at the beach... Eamonn's hat...
Need to get this picture on Ravelry... details about the yarn and project to follow... by the way.... WEATHER GORGEOUS today at Cape Hatteras... I am a knitting TAN Goddess!!
Updated 8/25/08): Pattern: Flap Cap by Carol Anderson
Yarn: (doubled throughout) Cascade 220 Wool
Red 1 skein
Black 2 skeins
Needles: US 9 and US 10 circular 16 inch and US 9 dp needles
Note: Eamonn liked it without the ear flaps. This hat is AWESOME and warm for the winter - very heavy and wears well. I made one last year (with ear flaps) for my older son Liam and it still looks great (picture to follow)...
BTW: Not a cloud in the sky... drinking my coffee on my deck and watching the waves crash... The days are going too fast!
Love the colors! I'm new to Fair Isle. My group took a lesson at sns this summer. Lots of fun.
