I used Quince Osprey in Storm. I ALWAYS mess up my husband's hats, not sure what that's about. This one came out huge since I made the largest size and was getting less sts per inch with the Osprey on a size 8. I wanted it to come out bigger, but I guess I overcompensated. The happy ending is that I washed and dried it and it felted just enough AND turned out exactly the right size. He loves it! Phew.
Hey knitters - the winner of Rhinebeck Giveaway #6, selected at random, is...Amy! That's all the info I have on you, Amy, other then your comment:
It’s very nice of you to accommodate those of us who can’t attend. I used to think that no one from the PNW would attend, but then a good friend from Portland did this year!
Send me an e-mail: hannah at knitbot dot com with your address so I can send you your loot!
On the way back from Rhinebeck we stopped in Northampton, MA and I finally got to go to Webs. I can't believe I've never been. Well, I guess I can believe it, it is 3 1/2 hours from my house. It certainly lived up to the hype, they have everything. Of course the big draw is the warehouse full of discounted yarn in the back. However, I found myself drawn to some things towards the front of the store.
tosh dk in Sequoia. So pretty I can't even handle it - I've had it next to me all day so I can keep looking at it.
Blue Sky Alpacas Melange - hopefully a stripey hat for Jojo
Socks that Rock in Pond Scum. I've never actually seen this yarn in person, so I was excited to see it AND to purchase it.
Buttons! (Pssst, Kate, I'm still interested in THOSE buttons though...)
(and...psst Deirdre, won't those front buttons look awesome on the Honey cardigan you're working on?!)
and my splurge was this blocking board which is long overdue. SO excited about it!
That's my gingerbread jacket blocking and waiting for buttons.
