WIP Wednesday: Hat Addiction

Hey guys it's Wednesday! And I am in an amazing mood for no reason what so ever :) I want to take today to share with you a couple things I have going, as well as some ideas I have for this coming fall.

First, even though it is WIP Wednesday, I want to share a FO, that would have been a WIP if it wasn't such a fun knit!

The amazing Evelyn at Project Stash designed the Miranda Hat and is hosting a KAL for people to make the hats and donate them to charity. I finally caved and decided to cast one on with some left over alpaca yarn I had. And believe me, I am so glad I did! This hat is amazing and addictive and easy! I plan to send this to Evelyn for her charity donations. 

After knitting the Miranda Hat I pulled out the Merino my aunt had gotten me in Germany. I wanted it to become a sweater or top, but I could not find anything I LOVED for the yardage I had (550 yds) so I decided to do a hat/mitten set. And the best part? I am designing them myself. Here is the brim of the hat so far. The rest is a bit of secret, but it's going to be a slouchy hat and it's going to be super cute!

Speaking of hats, I have been thinking a lot lately and I realized (with the help of a fellow college knitter at knit night) that hats are a lot like socks. You can buy one skein and get a project done. So I think I am going to spend my fall and winter making more hats, because there are so many pretty worsted colors and yarns out there! A few patterns on my list include:

cat ears hat (may not be right link, but I want the cat ears one from Stitch 'n bitch book)

Signe Hat

Those are the two that I really want to make, but I have so many more in my Ravelry queue and favorites who knows what all I'll end up with :)

Finally, I wanted to show you that I am finally ready for the heels on my socks. I can't wait to get them started!
