Kristi the hat is adorable. I love color on babies. Pastels are so dull. The pictures of your walk are stunning. You are a terrific photographer. The countryside is beautiful. Thanks for taking us on your walk.

Great hat!

And did you walk or bike along the Poudre? That’s the section we haven’t gotten to yet - now I really want to get over there.

[…] I’m not quite sure whether to classify 2006 as a very productive year knitting-wise or not. I knit 9 pairs of socks (one anklets and one knee highs so I suppose they cancel each other out), 3 baby hats, my first lace shawl, 2 baby halter tops and a soaker, 5 “warshrags” (though one never got photographed), and 1 felted squid. That is 21 finished objects. I suppose that isn’t so bad. It averages out to roughly one FO every two weeks. Yes, some took well over a month (shawl for example) and other took a day or two (warshrags). You can see more photos of all the projects in my 2006 Knitting FOs Set on Flickr. […]

Hi. I really, really like you hat in this post. Since I don’t have access to the Lonesome Skein knitalong (and access is now closed), is there any other way I could get hold of your pattern? Thanks for any info you can provide. Crystal
