Stash Dash FO #13

The 13th finished object for Stash Dash, is also a hat that I'm knitting for the Alphabet KAL, called the Caramel Slouch.

I really enjoyed knitting this hat. It starts with the brim, that is knit over just 16 stitches back and forth till it reaches around the head. Then new stitches are picked up for the head. I knit it out of Beiroa that I bought at Retrosaria Rosa Pomar in Lisbon. It's Portuguese wool and smells so pleasant of sheep (I've got a stash of it). Next time I knit this hat I will knit it a little more slouchy, but otherwise this is the perfect beanie!

Stash Dash FO #12

The 12th finished object for Stash Dash, is a hat that I'm originally knitting for the Alphabet KAL, called the Barley hat.

This is a really nice, simple pattern by Tin Can Knits, that I will be knitting again. I had meant to knit it for me, but 3 inches in I thought it looked small. I checked my gauge, and true enough; I was way off. So it became a toddler hat instead, meaning this was a really quick knit; less than one nightshift worth of work.
