f.o. : bistripe hat.
I haven't made too many hats in recent years because it is indeed true: you can have too many hats and you can gift too many hats. That being said, Bistripe Beanie by James Watts came along and who said too many hats?
I knit this exactly as the pattern called for; with Daruma IroIro in the colors James--bold pink, orange, green, rust, and light blue. It really is a magical pattern. The fit is perfect; the color amazing; the pattern engaging, interesting, but fast!
And yes, I plan to knit another one of these and...gift it.
I'm taking stock of old projects; it's been awhile since I actually reflected on my makes. I'm finding an increased need to document and to get back to mediums of writing and sharing that have long gone dormant.
