Notes

First time I’ve tried knitting with a colour in each hand. Not going too badly, but tension is a bit unreliable. Biggest problem seems to be controlling the stitches on the right-hand needle. Lovely to be working in multiple colours, though.

Found top part difficult - using double-pointed needles, but end result is worth it. Blocking really made the stitches look much more even.

Hat is a little too big, and I wish I’d done one less repeat for the height, but I love the colours, and the Jamieson and Smith wool feels gorgeous.
