Such pretty colors!

While the sweater is still going strong, I’ve reached the point on the body where every other row is p200, which takes forever. So, to break up the tedium, I’ve case on a new project, a ridiculously cute hat. I’m knitting this for a friend whose hands aren’t so happy with the idea of knitting anymore, but who wants to give this hat to her daughter. Proxy hands to the rescue!

We’re modeling our hat after the one shown on the left, with the yarn shown on the right. The colors on the right aren’t quite true. Most notably, the top center ball is actually a light pink. The rest are reasonably close to how they really appear.

I’m very excited about this project, and expect it go to very quickly. (Read: I will probably obsess about it until it’s done. Thus completely failing to use it as I intended: as a break from the tedium of p200.)
