I still haven’t blocked it, but here are pictures of the Bonnie hat that I made for myself.

You can't really see the hat, but aren't I adorable here?

I made two Bonnie hats, based on Kim Hargreaves’ pattern. I really really really liked this pattern, although I am anything but in love with how splitty this yarn is. I used Rowan RYC Bamboo Soft, and although it feels amazing, it was annoying to work with before I got my lace needles, and merely tedious after that.

Unworn Bonnie Hat

Person-filled hat

I haven’t bothered to block the second Bonnie hat that I made, because it’s for me, and I don’t care so much about things like that. But the brim looks funky unblocked, so maybe I’ll steam-block it tonight after The Skein Attraction‘s holiday party.

I’m so awesome, sometimes it hurts. I finished poor A’s socks. Luckily, it has taken me so long that it is almost an appropriate time of year to gift somebody with a pair of socks. I’m going to block them tonight and probably put them in the mail on Wednesday (or once I get A’s new address).

Yippee!

Will post pictures soonish.

It’s a good thing that I finished tonight. Tomorrow begins the September phase of the KAL to Cookie A’s patterns. I already have her book, so I will start with Angee, which is in her book, which I already own. The other pattern is Marlene, which is cute, but which I do not yet own. I’m not going to buy that one until I can properly determine my level of commitment to the first pair. I may never finish at all, so I’m holding off on purchasing another sock pattern.
