I feel stupidly happy that I managed to keep up with the Woolly Wormhead Mystery Hat KAL this year. It was the perfect project! Now all I need to do is to find a recipient for it, as I have an already overflowing hat drawer...
I have done the simple brim option, slouchy length and the basic crown shaping too. Keeping things straightforward is definitely the key at the moment! You can see more pictures over on my Ravelry project page here: Jen's Mystery Hat 2013.
I adored knitting with the Fyberspates Vivacious DK (which was the yarn recommended for the design). I can't wait to knit up some kids garments in this yarn. The colours are fab and it's just ace for texture and a pleasure to knit with. I know I'm totally biaised about Fyberspates as I've worked with Jeni for some years now, but this yarn really is a dream of a superwash bouncy merino.
I loved how there were a number of different options within the one design this year. Woolly puts so much thought into the Mystery Hat KAL, and really considers how to give knitters the best possible experience of the KAL. Given the complexity of pleasing hundreds of people when they don't really know what they are signing themselves up for, she works absolute miracles.
I'm also having fun with the cables on my Freccia, which should be finished before too long as well... Watch this space!
