So, it's been a while since I've done more on the blog than to make the occasional comment. I have very few legitimate excuses. I had a brief bout with pneumonia in late November/early December, which is why this hat took me longer than planned if you count the 2 weeks I didn't do much of anything except cough.
I did do some knitting since my last, long-ago post, but not all that much. I finished off a little sweater for Blaze, but I haven't sewed it together yet. I made the hat in this post over a month ago! I guess the holidays did happen in there which sort of distracted me from doing any craft-related tasks.
The recipient seems to really like it, which is very good. This is the first time I've done anything with the cable class I took in the fall. It was a lot of fun and very rewarding, and I learned how to un-knit cables, too. I probably did not get all the incorrectly crossed ones out, so if you see any in the photo, it's too late! The hat is in use and as far as I know, my colleague hasn’t found any boo-boos.

Very pretty! I keep thinking I am going to take a knitting class--and then reality sets in. I was actually going to call to register for a class yesterday when I realized I had to train a new student.
I really like this. I was wondering when you'd post about this--I had seen the picture on your flickr site already.
I'm glad you like it. I had fun making it! I am so far behind on posting! I have a hat done for TL that he's been wearing since I came home from Philly! I even took photos right away!
