Slouchy Bubbles

Paton Classic Wool in Plum Heather

Love it!

& The fold up edging.
Who wouldn't, right?

Loved the pattern.  Even though, it did get the better of me for an hour or so.  It happens.  The important part is that I worked it out and got a fabulous hat out of the deal.  It is a pattern I would/will knit again.  It's big enough to fit my big giant head and all my hair.  I have to knit it again.

After blocking the hat, I was looking at it and couldn't see the cables in the pattern.  I could see "bubbles" but not the cables that I had spent an evening or two working on.  I took the hat off the foam head turning the hat over in my hands while pondering...

It wasn't until I turned it right side out that I realized that I had blocked the hat inside-out.  Hence the "missing" cables.

Yeah, been that kind of week.

Happy Friday, everyone!

Why don't I have a tag for hats?  WTF is wrong with me?!  Yeah, don't answer that...

Damn, I wish I wore hats! That hat is gorgeous! I may have to knit it anyway.

[Patty]

Happy Friday! Calling for an obnoxious amount of !!! The hat - color - cables - flippy thing - just beautiful!

[margene]

LOVE the hat...great looking pattern and perfect color. I'd love to be at a wedding where the bride wore red!!

[CindyCindy]

That hat will look so good on you! I love the color. Thank you for telling on yourself. I thought I was the only one who did things like blocking inside out!!! Hugs, dumplin.

[Stacey]

Lovely hat. Of course, I love cables because I'm weird. The color is schweeeet too. Blocking? Hats? Are we supposed to? I just throw them at people when I'm done. Yes, throw. After all the hats you have knit lately, you really do need a tag.

[kitten]

LMAO. I was wondering what the bubbles were about. Spiffy Gibbs?

[Brenda]

I also have a big giant head and lots of hair. Thanks for the pattern idea. I'm off to pull some wool out of the stash....

[Kelly]

Lol. I think I did that with a shawl once. Serves me right for not blocking in the day time! Lovely hat, and gorgeous color. I adore using patons for hats, it's the perfect hat wool.

[Doris]

Great hat!! Looks really comfy as well as nice to look at.

[Big Alice]

Looks great! That plum heather color is very nice.
Happy friday to you too!

[Susan]

I love the hat! There's something about a hat with well-designed cables that makes it the perfect knitting project - interesting and fun to knit, as well as extremely attractive and useful for keeping one's head warm.

[Cheryl S.]

Hahaha!
It's a great-looking hat. Love the pattern, love the color. I do like it better with the folded-up brim.

[Carrie K]

Have to agree with your spiffy!

Gorgeous hat. AND big enough? It's an end of the year miracle!! Now see what you can do about tge fiscal cliff.

[Marilyn]

Another good looking hat! :D
Happy Saturday...I'm slow again....

[Karen]

Beautiful hat! There is no better review for a pattern than "I have to knit it again".

[Andi]

Love the hat, but who the hell is Spiffy Gibbs?! :O)

[Natalie]

Ha, missing cables. And that's why reversible knits are good.

[Sarah]

I love the hat and that you are always letting me know about the hats that fit giant heads and lots of hair. I like the color and was just looking at some of that the other day somewhere I think.

As for the UM...get out of my head! xoxo
