I have this vision of a time in the future when my wardrobe is in good working order (no more rush to fill in all the gaps) and I can simply knit 1 or 2 carefully chosen sweaters per year, at my leisure. Then the rest of my time can be spent knitting hats! There is such an endless stream of good pattersn, and we all know how relatively quick and gratifying they are. These are my current obsessions:
TOP: Fidra by Gudrun Johnston (as knitted/shot by Kathy) is just good chunky fun
MIDDLE LEFT: Halus by Jared Flood is even more good chunky fun
MIDDLE RIGHT: Buck’s Hat by Thea Colman is cable-based basketweave used to great effect (See also: Manx from my fall hat roundup)
BOTTOM: Holt by Alicia Plummer features allover puff stitch for a simply gorgeous hat
