I have finished my sweater! I know...that photo above is not a picture of a sweater. I will blame Sandy (the hurricane) for making poor photography conditions so I don't have any pictures yet but they are coming! In the mean time, I had a friend request a new hat so here is a Gingerbread Hat that I completed last week.
I don't normally follow patterns but I decided to give it a try. I made the brim a few stitches longer than the directions called for but otherwise I followed the pattern. I used the largest hat size the pattern offered and despite being doubtful about sizing and the top closure while I was knitting, I am very happy with the results. It was a great quick knitting project.
Revelry offers the pattern for free [here]
Yarn Used: malabrigo Worsted 100% Merino Wool NS: US 7-9(knit with a size 8)
Color: 52 Paris Night
The skein was about 210 Yards and I didn't even come close to using the whole thing.
