I cast on two hats for International Cast On All The Things Month. They are both finished.
The first is a pumpkin baby hat. John’s best friend and his wife are new parents, so I made them my traditional baby gift. I’ve been making this for so long I have no idea what the pattern is. Now I just need to get this mailed.
The second finished object is a Puimcin Hat. I noticed the hat while watching the Caught In The Wool Podcast by Bumbleebee Acres. I bought a kit as soon as it came out. The yarn, marshmallow worsted, was great to work with. I probably should have gone up a needle size, but would have run out of yarn.
You make a woven button to top the hat. I loved making the button, and think I’ll use the technique again. Please ignore the wonkiness at the bottom of the button, I have fiddled with the button since taking the photograph and it looks much better.
We went to the orchard yesterday, and I found the hat really works with the Wear All The Wool look I’ve been going for lately.
Did you finish anything this week?

That hat is so cool!! And the button is the perfect touch — was it hard to make?

Yep! One recital done today, and found out they scrapped the song that was bothering my wrist for the one next weekend, so I think I’ll risk upping my rows. I haven’t had any pain or burning for weeks so I think I’m pretty safe.
