I did it! I spun the yarn and I knit it up!! Now I have a hat for me!!!

I will still work on the Hexed hat and the Hex along.. but I  need to keep working on getting gauge!

The details..

The roving was some beautiful Corridale given to me by my one skein pal.. so I made up a skein with it! I got 33 yards out of it and was soo afraid I wouldn’t be able to make anything usable out of that little yarn.

I started last night, I finished two hours later! I used the pattern for the H2O hat by Bonne Marie, she now sells the pattern I was graced with a copy by an angel just shortly after Bonne Marie pulled it (and before she reposted it for sale) as a free pattern from her site cause people were actually selling it or something..

Anyway, I had just gone back to the site to print it out and she had like just pulled it like I think five minutes before I went.. I was maaaad!

Anyway true to it’s claims it took two hours.. I used bigger needles, cast on less stitches and followed the pattern. I ran out of yarn before all the decreases but It’s not bad!

Fits nicely

I have also been blessed by three angels all in one day.. if you aren’t on freecycle in your area get on it!! Today I recieved some clothes for Jaxom.. much needed and just impecable! And a toy garage for the little guys. I really really really wanted to get them one for Christmas but couldn’t find one! And to top it all off at a store there was a cheerful angel named Mai Lin who helped me find the one last thing I really really wanted to get for one of the kids! Thank you to all my angels today!
