Oh hello beautiful knitters/readers (I don't discriminate... if you can't knit, I suppose that you can still read a knitting blog). Here I am and believe it or not, I have knitting to show off to you. And much more to come! But before I get ahead of myself, I want to show off something recent.
It's... a hat.
And... it's a colour that I have never knit before.
Cream.
Yup.
Cream.
Looks to me as though my neighbour is clearly up to no good.
I must admit one small thing though... and that is that this yarn comes in a limited range of colour. Cream was pretty much the most 'vivid' option available but it's just so darned beautiful to knit with... that I care not! While this yarn's rainbow doesn't extend much past neutrals, I simply tell myself that I'm knitting the shade of some precious New Zealand sheep out there and then suddenly all is well with the world.
Why New Zealand you ask? Because that's where this yarn reigns from. Where the sheep are cream, charcoal, and various shades of brown. (In my New Zealand anyway...)
Needles? 4mm for the brim, and 5mm for the main
Pattern? Koolhaas Hat from my boyfriend Jared Flood over at Brooklyn Tweed (jealous much?)
It's a Chrismas gift, but I can't decide quite yet for who. I have made a list of possible recipents, I'll just see who treats me like gold for the next month and who doesn't.
And just in case you were wondering where I have been since I took off that sugar bag, here's a hint.
Baby trees and lizards anyone?

Oh I'm loving me some cream toque! And I'm loving and missing the baby trees and lizards even more - no toques required.
I love this hat. I've looked at this pattern a number of times.
