EZ practice hat

Yay, I learned two-color knitting!

I’m on a strict regimen of Elizabeth Zimmermann books and videos. And instead of knitting a gauge swatch she has you make a little cap. So this is that cap, or at least the ribbed edge of it. I should’ve gotten that yarn-tail out of the way, like it’s not messy-looking enough! The yarn is a really soft heathery wool/acrylic blend — Lion Brand Wool-Ease, in "Blue Mist". You can’t see yet, but I’m doing little color patterns now, in gold yarn. Don’t ask! It’s not for me, it’s a special request. Unless the styling just doesn’t work out for the somewhat fussy person who requested that goldness. :-)

I gotta do a Space Invaders hat!

I really like doing color work like this. It’s not nearly as hard as you’d think.

Had to transfer to DPNs to do the crown.

The completed crown.
