grandma hat + new yarn

I made this hat for my grandmother when she told me she liked the purple version.

It's a little snug because it's made with a firmer acrylic wool than the "Red Heart Soft" that I used for the purple one. This hat is very popular. You'll find the pattern here.

My yarn came in!

I was on Yarn.com, looking for a dk weight yarn on sale. It's a blend of pima cotton and merino wool. And I knew if was for me when i saw the title of the yarn Lily Chin "Gotham." It's like one of those signs that everyone seems to wait for. If it's pretty and soft with a tie to batman, it's for me. I plan to make this

I really like almost everything the designer makes. She makes some really pretty things.

This was an impulse buy and I think I'm making something for my friend Kelly out of it. Teal is her color. :)
