St. Vincent Cloche
I finished my hat! It was terribly large when I finished knitting it. The brim actually fell to my shoulders when I put it on, and two heads could have fit instead the width of it. However, as promised, after the felting was complete the hat was the perfect size. You can't see it from the pictures, but the back of it has a little slit with the black yarn continuing up from the brim to line it.
I've never before endeavored to knit a hat with the intention of felting it. I love the look, but I was just afraid the sizing would come out all wrong. Luckily, it didn't. I just felted it until it fit on my head nicely. Now I'm properly attired for winter.
P.S. - I still haven't started the fourth novel in J.R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood, but I've developed a total crush on Vishous. That's how you spell it, right? I love him, and I love the way he always says, "True?" That's such a minuscule quirk to obsess over, but it makes my heart go pitter-patter. Plus, he listens to thumping rap music. I can hang with that as long as it is quality stuff.
