This Week's Happenings...

Hat week has been continuing for me this week!  After my lovely Brioche hat that I was so proud of last week I still had a fair amount of the lovely Rico Bonbon wool I had used left over.  Not enough for a whole new hat but it got me thinking... I picked a ball of Rico Wild Wild Wool  in Black and cast on for a simple hat with a stripe from the multicoloured Bonbon.

This hat left me with still a fair bit of the Bonbon and most of the ball of black Wild Wild Wool.  So, another hat was cast on, this time I thought narrow stripes would be strikig with the colours of the Bonbon.  Hat 2 was born - only downside was a lot of ends to sew in!

Unbelievably, I was still left with enough black to complete another hat, but had very little Bonbon left - until I remembered the left overs from my legwarmers I knitted last year in a particularily cold spell.  Hat 3 is bridging the gap between  Hat 1 and Hat2, wide stripes using all the leftovers. 

So there we have it, 2 balls of super chunky wool, some leftovers and a few hour's work, and we now have 4 new hats available to buy in the shop!
