Cherry Tree Hill Hat.

I've never knit a hat with such light weight yarn before, I've always used DK. But when I saw this Cherry Tree Hill yarn called Sockittome it didn't scream socks, it wanted to be a hat and scarf perhaps a set of fingerless gloves as well.

The instructions were very simple although they didn't mention if they were to be knit on circs or straights, I chose circs but towards the end had to change to DPNs. The pattern is called Avatar hat by Barbro Wilhelmsson it was a nice easy knit and the sock yarn gave me a lovely shmooshy hat that is really light but warm.

I quite pleased with how the colours pooled, they seem to have a slight spiral to them. Just now have to find a nice scarf pattern to go with it.

Kiri Shawl

Well I got to row 28 and I'd been feeling as if something wasn't quite right so had a look at the picture.

My Kiri didn't have the two obvious yarn overs down the center, it just had a large hole rather than two neat ones.

Now I followed the instructions so have no idea how it's happened, I've frogged it and will re-start it today, tip, mohair is a git to frog!

I know when I was doing the purl rows that the two yo's in the center were purled so why it looked as if I'd dropped the stitch I don't know, I was wondering if I twist the stitches this would give them more definition. Will find out in a couple of hours.
