Striped Wurm Hat


Over the weekend, I finished another quick project, the wurm hat.  This time around I decided to knit with a self striping yarn, Zitron  Unisono.  I love the effect that resulted with the striping and the wool has a lovely hand.  This hat is quite squishy and feels wonderful!


First two photos were taken by me, I think I'm getting good at weird angles.  The last photo was taken by my son.  Sometimes an extra pair of hands just helps out. He patiently snapped and asked "how's this".

I am not giving this hat away!  I am looking forward to some crisp fall air and a chance to wear this while out on a walk in the woods.  With all the stripey colors, I think the hat will go with many of my other knitted cowls, scarves and shawls. And you know, if it doesn't well then, I have a great excuse to knit some more accessories.

    I love your Wurm hat, the stripes are lovely. I'm thinking of another Wurm myself, but then I'm thinking of a lot of things to make...

    Great hat! That's a pattern I need to remember since I still need to make myself a nice hat (or two) for the colder month. :-)

    That looks great! I love the way it came out with that yarn. I wouldn't give that one up either. It goes with so many things.

    That's a wonderful hat! It doesn't have to match your clothes exactly. Sometimes it's fun to be a little bit bohemian.

    I LOVE it! I tried to knit a wurm awhile back, and just couldn't get that bottom ribbing to line up right. I want to try again, but am too afraid of failure! Maybe one day. Yours looks awesome!

    Perfect yarn for this pattern! I've been thinking about hats, too -- although half of me is trying to pretend like winter is not going to happen this year.

    Why do I always have to dust something off in my queue after visiting you. I must make the wurm hat that has been sitting here waiting for its time.

My weekend happily contained: -wearing the above woolens all at the same time without being hot -so many walks and taking in the changing leaves. -a leaf shower on Saturday-the wind swirled the leaves off the trees up in the air to float down -changing screen savers to autumn themes! -a craft fair where my husband and I say "we could make that", but we don't. -french fries at the craft fair -scrambled eggs and toast for dinner because we were lazy. -football season has descended in my house. he was in the front room watching whatever is on today -I sat in the family room and watched A Tree Grows in Brooklyn .   Now I want to read it again. -Oh! I finished the socks!! So I wound up about six skeins of yarn and have three projects ready -started a cowl for me in fall colors (I hope to finish before fall ends) -enjoying Spirits of Joy .  Hannah graciously had a one day free sign up for her birthday at the end of September which I luckily saw on Twitter.  Than...

  Good morning to you! How are you? I'm excited about my hat that I've been knitting enjoying the sea of stockinette stitches. When I first started the hat I thought it would be too small, now I wonder if it will be too big. Gah. I will find out soon I guess. I wish the photo about showed how beautiful the colors are in real life, you'll have to trust me on this! Below is my next knitting project, the habitation throw . I will definitely use the pink and gray, I'm still not sure about that purple, I might have a look-see in my stash and do another ponder about that color. I chose this pattern because I can use up some of my stash and I adore Helen Stewart's patterns. What are you working on this week? Also: I will probably not be posting this Friday and the following Monday because of my family visiting. I hope to be back next Wednesday (unless I change my mind).
