Potpourri Fusion Hat


I have completed another project and it's a simple hat pattern that I designed.  This pattern uses up those pesky odds and ends of yarn that you just don't know what to do with.


I had a little bit of left over Ultra Alpaca and Ella Rae Classic.  That was the inspiration for this hat.
Potpourri Fusion hat is a simple stockinette beanie design that knits up quickly.  Unless you're like me and are working on lots of projects, then it takes just a little bit longer.


The photos are with the ribbing folded up but you could wear it slouchy and unfold the ribbing.  Below is a very talented self portrait :)  I think I am getting pretty good at this!  Pattern is available here.

    Very nice :) I should try this with some of my odds and ends, although I'll probably end up with the most crazy clash of colours! Yours coordinate so nicely ;)

    We will just add self-portraiture (via camera lens) to your list of talents... Your knits are always beautiful and this one certainly didn't disappoint. I love it!

    Blessings, Debbie

    Awesome! Thanks for the pattern! You did a great job with the self portrait. I always manage to have 10 chins when I try to do that!

    Great hat! I love the color combo. As I was up to my elbows in laundry today, I decided that I need to knit something new very soon!

    Ohh I love the hat! Just this afternoon I was digging around in my stash to find yarn to make the cowl pattern you posted a few weeks ago. I think I found some I like for it!

Weekends

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).
