I am on FIRE!
Published by Liz on Sunday, November 9, 2008 on Sunday, November 09, 2008I ordered this yarn through my LYS, Knit-knackers, a few weeks ago. Originally I had planned to reverse the colours for the original pattern; a blue hat, with brown fair isle. When the yarn arrived in the store, only the blue had come in. I really didn't want to wait, so instead, I used white for the colour work. I love how it turned out, and I love the tassels.
My only real change to the original pattern was to knit it in the round, instead of flat. I also decided to use both yarn colours in the tassels, instead of just the blue. This hat took no time at all. A real quick knit!

Very cute - I think it looks great with the blue and white.
It's very pretty in the classic blue and white combo. BTW - I forgot to mention that I've posted your contest to my blog at Kitten With A Whiplash
This is so cute, I may just have to do this with a different fair isle pattern...you know, if I ever finish these stupid socks I've been working on since August!
I love this and I think I'll try it! Great job!!
I really like it too. You really are on fire!
Love it - really nice job
Really cute!
I love it. It's really fun.
You are on fire. Great hat! The tassels are such fun.
Wow - that turned out great - I can't believe what you're churning out. I feel like such a slug
