Snowy Day in California
January 27, 2008 by Kathy
The timing couldn’t have been better finishing this hat right in the middle of a major rainstorm that delivered all this fabulous snow to our local mountains. Final thoughts on the hat - loved the colorwork chart, the size was a little snug, could have gone up a needle size, a little shy about the dimple on the top of the crown (no tassles mom, please!), otherwise, I’m pretty excited. Totally goofed on the progression of colors, should have had one more light, medium and dark blue so the background is a little stripey rather than the gorgeous graduated palette from the pattern, but I’m trying to focus on the accomplishments rather than the coulda, shoulda stuff. Kinda fun walking around in public knowing my son felt like he had a pretty cool ski hat on, not shy about wearing it and feelin proud of his mom.
It is gorgeous Kathy! Keep up the great work. I can’t get over the snow in the background of the shot, keep singing …..it never rains in California……what have you done to me?
How far away are those mountains?
Man, I will definitely say that your son has a wicked cool ski hat on! Well done!!!
