2/21/16 This wasn’t dry in time to do pics on the 19th, so will try again on 2/23.

2/18/16 Blocking! Should be ready for gifting and photographing tomorrow afternoon.

2/17 #2 Done except for blocking.

2/17/16 The progress pics don’t do this hat justice. The color is much richer and the stitch definition is great. The yarn has a little shine to it which works nicely with the pattern. I love how it’s working up. The twisted rib cables are very crisp and the leaf details are really pretty.

2/16/16 Cast on today. I wasn’t sure about the yarn at first. It’s very splitty. Once I got a couple of rows in, though, it got easier to work with. It shows the stitch definition very nicely and is a gorgeous color.

Swatch on 7s = 18 sts/4”

Baby. Needs 130 yds worsted. US5s and 7s. Due 3/30/15.
