No it’s not a new pattern, it’s the same pattern I’ve used for the 15+ versions of the same hat (I’ve gifted about half of them and the other are in my “Cold Weather Hat Stash”.
I’m still working on the granny square blanket I last posted about in Starting a New Granny Square Blanket but I wanted an even more portable project for my recent California roadtrip with friends (and one of my friends is a knitter and would be bringing along a knitting project).
I found a skein of black yarn with little flecks of color and figured that would work – I don’t have a hat in that color in my Hat Stash!
Here I am in the car knitting away while we drove to cool places like quilt shows, quilt shops and the Muir Woods National Monument (John Muir Woods)!
