I cast on this little hat Tuesday evening after I finished Dad's socks. It's Gretel, by Ysolda Teague. I've been eyeing this pattern for a while, and suddenly realized that I had enough Cash Iroha left in stash to make it. This may be the first time I've ever knit a pattern with the yarn it was written for. The universe may wobble a bit.
Anyhoo, I can't say enough nice things about this pattern. It's quick, clear, and all around fabulous. It's written for three versions; fitted, standard or slouchy. This is the slouchy, almost snood like version. Yay for 60 degree weather, I'm sorry I bitched about you. Please forgive me. This will probably be glued to my head for the next couple days. I'm such a knit-dork.
I may have also already promised to make one for a friend who squealed over it tonight. Yay again for quick knits. :)

Pretty!
I just found your blog, and you crack me up. Plus, I just bought Cherly Oberle's Folk Shawls and am in love with the Irish diamond. I'm in love with all of them, actually.
I'm going to add you to my blog list, if that is Okay with you!
Love the hat! Maybe I'll try it.
That hat is so pretty. Thanks for the link to the pattern--I think I have some stash yarn that would work quite well for it (the leftover Green Mountain Spinnery Mountain Mohair from Ed's sweater).
