So I just finished knitting my first hat! It was quite the learning experience for me...I got this yarn (Malabrigo) over the summer at my first trip to Loopy Yarns, and I had intended to make a hat with it, but hadn't gotten around to it b/c of the baby blankets Claire and I were making.
I'll spare you all the details of this little adventure other than the fact that I forgot/sorta didn't know that when you get 100% wool hot, it felts. Which means it looks less like knitted yarn and more like colorful felt.
Here's the before wash/dry/felt:
And here's the after/final project:
Luckily, I still like it. I was really upset at first because it wasn't what I had intended/wanted, but my co-worker, my roommates, and a friend that's visiting all love it. So, I guess it can be considered a success.
