After working on so many chunky projects, it felt really weird to switch gears, (and needles) and go back to fingering weight.
It took a little more time, but it was worth it. For the Teen Hat category, I give you – Scandinavian Sugarskulls!
I had some Barn Cat gradient kicking around in the stash (dye up to make some socks), and I thought it would be perfect for the background of the hat.
It’s suppose to go from grey, to grey-teal, to turquoise, to duck egg green, but as you can see, the transition from grey-teal to turquoise isn’t quite as smooth as I would like. But for the purposes of this hat, I can live with it.
The pompom isn’t quite a big as I would like either, but this is the biggest size pompom maker I have… so again, I’ll live with it.
But despite it’s flaws, it’s a pretty cool looking hat, and after the fair, it will be tucked away for Miss Paisley.
Oh wow!!!! That is just spectacular! How ARE you getting all this done??? No sleep?

Actually, I think that is a perfect teen hat! Love the design and the colors. I even think the pompom is great and like the fact that it is the color of the last gradient so matches. Another blue ribbon project though I cannot imagine how you find time to complete all of those beautiful projects.
