Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow this morning predicting six more weeks of winter. We haven’t had a whole lot of winter around here. We’ve had a lot of ‘early spring’ weather and just a couple quick rounds of snow. However, I enjoy winter! I enjoy the snow and cuddling in the house and having a whole slew of reasons to stay at home and read or knit or make soup or bake bread. And so I’m hoping that good ‘ole Phil’s prediction today will mean that there is still a chance for us to see some good old fashioned winter around here before all is said and done.
Call my extensive winter knit knitting wishful thinking…but let’s just say that if winter should, in fact, decide to show her beautiful face…we will be ready! This hat was a super quick and fun knit (really, just about a day to finish)! I didn’t have a hat that I had made and, well, I guess I really just wanted one! It’s the Dottie Hat by Hannah Fettig. I made my sister-in-law the corresponding cowl for her birthday and thought it would be the perfect pattern for this much coveted self made hat of my own! Of course, I used Quince yarn (one could say I have a bit of an addiction to their particular brand of wonderful!). I used just under one skein of Puffin in Frost.
