Presenting the third hat in the fringehatalong series and my favorite so far: Hermaness Worsted by Gudrun Johnston.
I love the look of the simple Shetland lace pattern knitted up in Brooklyn Tweed Shelter. The colorway is Almanac which is a gorgeous dark blue with bright blue flecks that seem to glow. Would love to knit a big cozy sweater with this yarn! It's so lightweight but with a rustic feel and very warm. I did have one occurrence of a breakage in yarn while working the crown decreases but no other issues. And now that I've fallen down the Brooklyn Tweed rabbit hole, there are some fall knitting plans in the works involving Loft:

| Like my back-to-school haul? Toms sheep sneakers, Knerdshop knitting bag, Midwestern Knits book, Brooklyn Tweed Loft. |
Also, the fourth hat in the fringehatalong was just announced last week. Can't wait to pick out some colors for this one. Not to mention the second Fringe and Friends Knitalong coming this fall. Must knit faster!
What a beautiful colour! The hat looks great.
ReplyDeleteI knit mine in bright yellow, and your blue version is lovely too. I think this hat would look great in any color. I just finished the fourth hat Laurus, it was quick and fun to knit too.
ReplyDeleteLove the hat! It would match my car perfectly. LOL! If you figure out how to knit faster PLEASE let me know!!! I want to cast on and knit all the things right now!
ReplyDeleteI always love your photos of your work. Good stuff. And that back to school haul? swoon. nice job!
ReplyDeleteTerrific blue for this beanie. I like how you're peeking among the trees. I have yet to try Brooklyn Tweed. I know many rave about it. Your haul is awesome! I love the bag's graphic and that sweater on the cover of the book.
ReplyDeleteYour back to school haul is perfection! I love the dark blue colours, this is a great hat!
ReplyDeletehat turned out great....and what a back to school haul! (makes me almost want to go back to school!!!!); I downloaded the #4 pattern but haven't dug out any yarn for it yet. (Trying not to buy more yarn. Wonder how long THAT is going to last?!)
ReplyDeleteLove the color of your hat! I ma promising myself I am going to knit my first hat this winter!
ReplyDeletesuch a fantastic hat, and I love your back to school haul- I would never have been able to resist sheepy toms, either.
