Handspun, handdyed spiral rib hat:
Yarn: Handspun Blue Face Leicester
Pattern: Spiral Rib Hat. Ann Norling #54
Notes: One of the few hat patterns I will use since it gives a chart for all sizes and gauges. Plus it looks good in a huge variety of yarns. Also knit up quickly. It was simple enough that I didn't have to look at the pattern, but had enough to do to keep me interested.
Impressions: I'm especially happy with this hat because, before I overdyed the yarn, it was a color that I was less than thrilled with. Specifically, it used to be this yarn:
Trekking XXL stockinette socks:
Yarn: Trekking XXL. I've lost the label and dont' remember what color.
Pattern: None, just stockinette
Impressions: I like these, but I'm glad to have them off the needles. I have some Claudia's Handpainted up next and I don't allow myself to cast on for a new pair until I've finished both socks of the pair that I've started.
