So I finally finished and got better pictures. Here are the details:
The Pattern: Thorpe Hat by Kirsten Kapur
The Fiber: “Kaylee” Superwash Merino by Woolen Mill St Yarns, with a bit of Magenta Falkland by Beemiceelf
The Needles: US 9
The Verdict: It’s fun, it’s goofy, and it’s warm. I can’t wait to wear it this winter! From fluff to hat in 8 days.
Wordless.

I was in need of cheering up today, and this just happened to come across my radar. Thanks to Franklin for tickling my funny bone.
