I finished my hat out of Chroma Worsted Yarn, a super soft single ply wool from Knitpicks. It's %70 Superwash Wool in a gorgeous pallette of color combos. The hat was very appreciated for the first night of camping at 32° and my LLBean sleeping bag (rated 40°) did well zipped up over my head with the hat and piles of fleece blankets. The next days got warmer.
And the trees were popped out from inland Maine to Vermont. The Adirondacks were so pretty. The new leaves glistening in sunlight. So, so appreciated after a long cold winter. It was a nice break.
After finishing up my hat I had a lot of Chroma Worsted left in colors Lake Front and Fathoms. I did a search of projects on Ravelry done in Chroma and found Autopilot. A really easy, rythmic knit that produces a gorgeous cowl.

Envious of your time in New England. I miss it!
ReplyDeleteYes, seeing the green on the trees is so very welcome. I love the hat and cowl. It's always good to be warm.
ReplyDeleteOkay, you win the award for the most daring knitter... camping out in temperatures that chilly! Wow! But your hat is so cute (and it looks great on you!) and that cowl looks like the perfect camping knit!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful hat! I have made a couple Autopilot cowls, the short version. Fun knit.
