Finished the Coronet hat I’ve been working on and wore it the same day
Pattern: Coronet hat from Knitty
Yarn: Imperial Stock Ranch 2 ply in Canyon Shadow Blue
Needles: US8 circular, magic loop
Duration: 31st January to 9th February 2010
Ravelry project: Blue Coronet
The hat came out well, but I won’t ever use this yarn again. There were three knots in the part I used, and I had to pick bits of grass out of the yarn every few stitches, the fibre quality is very poor. I like the colouring, it feels squishy and warm to wear, but it was so annoying to work with! Picking up stitches is getting easier, I ended up with two too many but they were all evenly spaced. The cable band got compliments the first time I wore it and I like the double thickness over my ears. Perfect for the freezing weather that just came back through St Louis.

Excellent hat.! But I’m sorry to hear about the yarn issues. I’ll be sure to steer clear of that one myself.
