Hello there, this a follow up to the post Something portable on the needles….
I finished the hat made with two leftover balls of yarn (both I think someone gave me as I do not remember using the yarn before) – a ball of blue variegated yarn, and a ball of denim blue yarn.
Here is when I got it to the double pointed needle stage (my favorite as it means it is nearly done!) while riding in the car:

And here is the photo I take as a tradition when I have the hat nearly done with the double pointed needles sticking out of my head:

And here is the completed hat:

I actually finished the hat while we were at dinner the other night with John’s former work colleagues. So I will close this post with gratuitous photos of the Burrata Salad and Meatball Pizza we had while out to dinner 🙂
People at dinner laughed when I threw the completed hat on my head at the end of the get together that I’d been working on all evening.
On to a new hat (one can never have enough hand knitted hats) to work on while passenger-ing in the car!


They are pretty, pretty colours

Not sure what I love more- the colors or the fact that you finished while enjoying a meal in a restaurant with friends.
