I'm taking a brief break from some slightly complicated knitting I have going on to knit a nice simple sock hat. I grabbed a US #3 (3.25 mm) and three coordinating balls of leftover sock yarn and cast on.
The yellow is Lichen in Hazel Knits Piquant Lite, the variegated is Leading Men Fiber Arts Show Stealer in Anne's Story, and the lavender is BMFA STR Light in Bleck.
This is a great project for resting my brain from complicated projects and wonderful for social knitting.
I chose a random stripe sequence to break up the variegated yarn and I really like how it's turning out. My color palette reads fall and that's probably a direct reflection of the warm weather we're having in Seattle at the moment; in the 80s most days. Fall is my favorite time of year and summer always seems to linger longer and longer just to spite my love of crisp, frosty mornings and my ability to wear wool sweaters again. This is definitely a wishful thinking kind of project.
I wearing off on you! A scrappy hat, my bliss.
ReplyDeleteI like this color combo a lot
ReplyDeleteI love those colors! That's going to be a great hat-I can't wait for it to get chilly again!
ReplyDeleteLovely colours! I also just cast on a bit of simple knitting, it is a lovely way of clearing the mind sometimes.
